cache

The cache middleware provides cache data management for Flame instances, supporting various storage backends, including memory, file, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB and SQLite.

You can read source code of this middleware on GitHubopen in new window and API documentation on pkg.go.devopen in new window.

Installation

go get github.com/flamego/cache

Storage backends

Memory

The cache.Cacheropen in new window works out-of-the-box with an optional cache.Optionsopen in new window and uses memory as the storage backend:

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"time"

	"github.com/flamego/cache"
	"github.com/flamego/flamego"
)

func main() {
	f := flamego.Classic()
	f.Use(cache.Cacher())
	f.Get("/set", func(r *http.Request, cache cache.Cache) error {
		return cache.Set(r.Context(), "cooldown", true, time.Minute)
	})
	f.Get("/get", func(r *http.Request, cache cache.Cache) string {
		v, err := cache.Get(r.Context(), "cooldown")
		if err != nil && err != os.ErrNotExist {
			return err.Error()
		}

		cooldown, ok := v.(bool)
		if !ok || !cooldown {
			return "It has been cooled"
		}
		return "Still hot"
	})
	f.Run()
}

Because the memory is volatile, cache data do not survive over restarts. Choose other storage backends if you need to persist cache data.

File

The cache.FileIniteropen in new window is the function to initialize a file storage backend, used together with cache.FileConfigopen in new window to customize the backend:

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"os"
	"path/filepath"
	"time"

	"github.com/flamego/cache"
	"github.com/flamego/flamego"
)

func main() {
	f := flamego.Classic()
	f.Use(cache.Cacher(
		cache.Options{
			Initer: cache.FileIniter(),
			Config: cache.FileConfig{
				RootDir: filepath.Join(os.TempDir(), "cache"),
			},
		},
	))
	f.Get("/set", func(r *http.Request, cache cache.Cache) error {
		return cache.Set(r.Context(), "cooldown", true, time.Minute)
	})
	f.Get("/get", func(r *http.Request, cache cache.Cache) string {
		v, err := cache.Get(r.Context(), "cooldown")
		if err != nil && err != os.ErrNotExist {
			return err.Error()
		}

		cooldown, ok := v.(bool)

Supported value types

The default encoder and decoder of cache data use gobopen in new window, and only limited types are supported for values. When you encounter errors like encode: gob: type not registered for interface: time.Duration, you can use gob.Registeropen in new window to register the type for encoding and decoding.

For example:

gob.Register(time.Duration(0))

You only need to regsiter once for the entire lifecyle of your application.
