🗃 Simple file-based cache storage for @josephuspaye/stash. This package provides a file storage backend for use in Node.js v10 or above.

This project is part of #CreateWeekly, my attempt to create something new publicly every week in 2020.

npm install @josephuspaye/stash-filestorage --save

The following example shows how to use the file storage backend with Stash:

import { Stash } from '@josephuspaye/stash';
import { FileStorage } from '@josephuspaye/stash-filestorage';

const stash = new Stash(
  new FileStorage({
    // Speeds up read operations by keeping a copy of the cache in memory
    // set to `false` to disable (not recommended)
    bufferInMemory: true,
    filePath: path.join(__dirname, 'cache.data'),
  })
);

// use `stash` as normal...

A file-based storage backend for the cache.

Cache data is serialized using devalue and written to file for persistence, using Node's fs APIs. That means it correctly handles:

• cyclical references (obj.self = obj)
• repeated references ([value, value])
• undefined, Infinity, NaN, -0
• regular expressions
• dates
• Map and Set
