CrudeCache

CrudeCache is a simple utility for good enough concurrent caching needs. Inspired by Play Framework's cache.getOrElseUpdate.

rust //Returns non-expired cached item. If one does not exist, new item will be cached & returned cache.get_or_else_update("cache_key", Duration::from_secs(60), async_function).await

Disclaimer: Please note that CrudeCache was developed for personal projects, it is not battle-tested in production and might contain bugs. Feedback, suggestions, and contributions are more than welcome.

Features

• Expiration of cached items are evaluated lazily.
• To minimize contention points, items are stored in a ShardedMap, which splits the data across multiple shards (HashMaps). No bells and whistles, and no resharding.
• Each shard is behind tokio::sync::RwLock

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] crude_cache = "0.1.1"

Example usage

```rust use crude_cache::CrudeCache;

[derive(Clone)]

pub struct DataService { cache: Arc, db: Arc }

impl DataService { pub async fn getbigdata(&self) -> SomeBigType { self.cache.getorelseupdate("bigdata", Duration::fromsecs(60), || self.db.bigdata()).await }

pub async fn get_other_data(&self) -> OtherType {
    self.cache.get_or_else_update("other_data", Duration::from_secs(60), || self.db.other_data()).await
}

} ```
