Overview

#SwiftMemCache - A Swift Memory Cache

CI Build State

Description

This project contains a Swift class that acts as a memory cache (singleton). It supports optionally namespacing for the cache identifier. It also supports a TTL to invalidate a cashed data object after a certain time.

The purpose of this class is to provide data across the whole code structure with an easy access pattern. You can extract interesting data into the mem cache and access it via a shared instance from anywhere in your code. SwiftMemCache DOES NOT write data to disk!

SwiftMemCache is completely unit tested, to prove that everything works as expected!

Features

NEW: Persistence Feature - Works only for elemental values at the moment

Save the current cache to disk. Entries with an expired TTL will be deleted before the cache gets persisted.

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.saveToDisk()

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.restoreFromDisk()

Add/Change Entry

Adds or changes a specified entry in the mem cache. Default TTL: -1 (object will always live in memory)

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.set("foo", data:<YourObject>, namespace:"bar", ttl:3600)

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.set("foo", data:<YourObject>)

Get

Return an entry if exists, otherwise returns nil

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.get("foo", namespace:"bar")

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.get("foo")

Delete

Deletes an entry by its key (namespace)

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.delete("foo", namespace:"bar")

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.delete("foo")

Exists

Returns true if an entry with the given key (optional namespace) exists

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.exists("foo", namespace:"bar")

Size

Returns the amount of the entries in the mem cache

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.size()

Clean Namespace

Deletes all entries of the given namespace from the mem cache

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.cleanNamespace("foo")

Expired

Checks if an given entry is expired. Returns true/false

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.isExpired("foo", namespace:"bar")

Delete Outdated Entries (TTL expired)

Cleans all entries in the mem cache where the TTL is expire

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.deleteOutdated()

Reset

This wipes all the data from the mem cache:

CTMemCache.sharedInstance.reset()

Comments

CocoaPods

Hey guys, thanks for this library. Seems pretty amazing!

Anyway, I think you should add it in CocoaPods. That will simplify the life.

Thanks in advance, cheers!
