go-generics-cache
go-generics-cache is an in-memory key:value store/cache that is suitable for applications running on a single machine. This in-memory cache uses Go Generics which will be introduced in 1.18.
- implemented with Go Generics
- a thread-safe
map[string]interface{}with expiration times

Usage

playground: https://gotipplay.golang.org/p/FXRk6ngYV-s
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
cache "github.com/Code-Hex/go-generics-cache"
)
func main() {
// Create a cache. key as string, value as int.
c1 := cache.New[string, int]()
// Sets the value of int. you can set with expiration option.
c1.Set("foo", 1, cache.WithExpiration(time.Hour))
// the value never expires.
c1.Set("bar", 2)
foo, ok := c1.Get("foo")
if ok {
fmt.Println(foo) // 1
}
fmt.Println(c1.Keys()) // outputs "foo" "bar" may random
// Create a cache. key as int, value as string.
c2 := cache.New[int, string]()
c2.Set(1, "baz")
baz, ok := c2.Get(1)
if ok {
fmt.Println(baz) // "baz"
}
// Create a cache for Number constraint.. key as string, value as int.
nc := cache.NewNumber[string, int]()
nc.Set("age", 26)
// This will be compile error, because string is not satisfied cache.Number constraint.
// nc := cache.NewNumber[string, string]()
incremented, _ := nc.Increment("age", 1)
fmt.Println(incremented) // 27
decremented, _ := nc.Decrement("age", 1)
fmt.Println(decremented) // 26
}
