|
> Simple ["Least Recently Used" (LRU) cache](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies#Least_Recently_Used_.28LRU.29)
|
|
|
|
Useful when you need to cache something and limit memory usage.
|
|
|
|
Inspired by the [`hashlru` algorithm](https://github.com/dominictarr/hashlru#algorithm), but instead uses [`Map`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map) to support keys of any type, not just strings, and values can be `undefined`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ npm install quick-lru
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const QuickLRU = require('quick-lru');
|
|
|
|
const lru = new QuickLRU({maxSize: 1000});
|
|
|
|
lru.set('🦄', '🌈');
|
|
|
|
lru.has('🦄');
|
|
//=> true
|
|
|
|
lru.get('🦄');
|
|
//=> '🌈'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### new QuickLRU(options?)

Both `key` and `value` can be of any type.
