library1.2.0jsnpmunverified

A simple in-memory cache manager for Node.js applications, version 1.2.0. It provides basic caching functionality with TTL support, suitable for small projects or simple caching needs. However, note that the package is outdated (last release from 2018) and has not been maintained, with no support for advanced features like clustering, persistence, or multi-tier caching that modern alternatives like keyv or node-cache offer. The package uses a singleton pattern and is not recommended for new projects.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

The package is CommonJS-only; using import may require a bundler. The example shows require.

import cacheManager from 'node-cache-manager'

TypeScript users may want the named export, but the package does not ship TypeScript definitions.

const { CacheManager } = require('node-cache-manager')

The module exports a singleton instance with methods get, set, del, clear.

const cache = require('node-cache-manager'); cache.get('key')

Demonstrates basic set, get, del, and clear operations with TTL.

const cache = require('node-cache-manager'); // Set a value with TTL in seconds cache.set('myKey', { data: 'hello' }, 60); // expires in 60 seconds // Get a value const value = cache.get('myKey'); if (value) { console.log(value.data); // 'hello' } else { console.log('Key not found or expired'); } // Delete a key cache.del('myKey'); // Clear all cache cache.clear(); console.log('Cache operations complete');
