Node module that offers efficient caches that store key-value pairs.

1. Install with the following command npm install lup-caches
2. Reference in your NodeJS project by adding const caches = require('lup-caches');.
   See Examples

Fixed size cache storing key-value pairs such that total
byte size of stored values will not exceed given limit.
Uses the LFU algortihm (least frequently used) to evict entries if cache is full.
Additionally an expire interval can be set (passive on put call) that repeatedly halfs
the access counter of each entry.

Fixed size cache storing key-value pairs such that total byte size of stored values will not exceed given limit. Uses the LRU algortihm (least recently used) to evict entries if cache is full. Cheaper and faster than LFU but not as many cache hits.

const {FixedSizeLFUCache} = require('lup-caches');

let maxSize = 10.5; // MB
let cache = new FixedSizeLFUCache(maxSize);

cache.put("test", "Hello World");
cache.put("abc", Buffer.from("e.g. contents of a file. Must not be of type string"));

cache.get("test"); // returns "Hello World" if entry still in cache
