abortable-promise-cache
Adds AbortController/AbortSignal semantics to a cache of promises. Each get
from the cache can optionally take an AbortSignal object that lets that
request be aborted.
Cached fill requests will be aborted and evicted from the cache if all the incoming requests for it are aborted before the promise settles.
If the fill request has already settled before all the requests for it have been aborted, it will stay in the cache.
Install
$ npm install --save abortable-promise-cacheUsage
import AbortablePromiseCache from 'abortable-promise-cache'
import QuickLRU from 'quick-lru'
const cache = new AbortablePromiseCache({
// QuickLRU is a good backing cache to use, but you can use any
// cache as long as it supports `get`, `set`, `delete`, and `keys`.
cache: new QuickLRU({ maxSize: 1000 }),
// the `fill` callback will be called for a cache miss
async fill(requestData, abortSignal) {
// do some long-running thing
return longRunningThing(requestData, abortSignal)
},
})
// Make a cached request. The returned promise will abort with the given abort signal if
// there is not already a cached copy that has been resolved.
// Fill requests will be signaled to abort if all the requests for them
// so far have been aborted.
const aborter = new AbortController()
const result = await cache.get('some key', { ...anyStuff }, aborter.signal)
// deleting and clearing will abort any outstanding requests
cache.delete('some key')
cache.clear()API
