general purpose in-memory cache

moon-cache

A lua library for caching:

• TTL cache

100% lua code, works with lua >= 5.1 and luajit

Installation

luarocks install moon-cache

Usage

local TTLCache = require('moon.cache.ttl')

cache = TTLCache:new{ttl = 60}
-- cache = TTLCache:new{ttl = 60, time = os.time}

cache:put('some-key', 'some-value')
local value = cache:get('some-key')

There is no need to explicitly do a cleanup by calling cache:expire(). A cleanup is performed on every cache:put.
