Thin wrapper around lru-cache with extended functionality.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save lru-cache-ext

Usage

Please refer to lru-cache.

Additions

Some additional, non-invasive functionality is added.

memoize(key: String, valueFn: function)

Only when the key is not present in cache (or has expired), valueFn is called and placed into cache.

The cached value is returned when it becomes available (important in the case where valueFn is async).

The cache is left empty if an error is thrown at any point in valueFn.

Useful when multiple async operation need to access the same async information.
