library1.1.2jsnpmunverified

think-cache is a caching middleware for ThinkJS 3.x, version 1.1.2, providing in-memory and file-based caching with a simple API. It integrates seamlessly with ThinkJS controllers and services, leveraging ES6+ features and TypeScript types. Released on a maintenance cycle, it is not actively developed and deprecated in favor of newer caching solutions like lru-cache or node-cache. Differentiators include its tight coupling with ThinkJS's ecosystem and trivial setup for rapid prototyping.

Code

Verified usage

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

Cache

✓ import Cache from 'think-cache'

✗ const Cache = require('think-cache')

ESM-only. CommonJS require may work but is not guaranteed for all bundlers.

Cache

✓ import { Cache } from 'think-cache'

Named export available for tree-shaking but default import is preferred.

getCache

✓ import { getCache } from 'think-cache'

✗ const getCache = require('think-cache').getCache

Named utility function; ESM required.

Demonstrates creating a file-based cache instance, setting and getting a value, then removing it.

import Cache from 'think-cache'; const cache = new Cache({ type: 'file', prefix: 'myapp', timeout: 3600 }); await cache.set('key', 'value'); const value = await cache.get('key'); console.log(value); // 'value' await cache.rm('key');

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThe package is deprecated and no longer actively maintained. Use modern alternatives like lru-cache or node-cache.

fix

Replace with lru-cache or node-cache.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingBreaking change in v1.0.0: renamed from think-cache@0.x to think-cache@1.x with API changes (removed synchronous methods).

fix

Update all cache calls to use async/await or Promises.

affects: >=1.0.0 <2.0.0

gotchaFile cache type may cause permission issues on shared hosting environments.

fix

Set proper write permissions or switch to memory cache.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaMemory cache is not shared across Node.js cluster workers; each worker has its own cache store.

fix

Use a centralized caching solution like Redis for clustered environments.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors
