In-memory Cache for Kotlin Multiplatform.
**Work in progress.**
**cache4k** provides a simple in-memory key-value cache for **Kotlin Multiplatform**, with support for time-based (expiration) and size-based evictions.
**Note that only the new Kotlin Native memory model is supported.**
The following targets are currently supported:
- jvm
- js
- wasmJs
- iosX64
- iosArm64
- iosSimulatorArm64
- macosX64
- macosArm64
- tvosX64
- tvosArm64
- tvosSimulatorArm64
- watchosX64
- watchosArm64
- watchosSimulatorArm64
- linuxX64
- linuxArm64
- mingwX64
## Download
Dependencies are hosted on [Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/artifact/io.github.reactivecircus.cache4k/cache4k).
### Android
```kotlin
dependencies {
implementation("io.github.reactivecircus.cache4k:cache4k:x.y.z")
}
```
### Multiplatform
```kotlin
kotlin {
sourceSets {
commonMain {
dependencies {
implementation("io.github.reactivecircus.cache4k:cache4k:x.y.z")
}
}
}
}
```
## Usage
### Writing and reading cache entries
To create a new `Cache` instance using `Long` for the key and `String` for the value:
```kotlin
val cache = Cache.Builder().build()
```
To start writing entries to the cache:
```kotlin
cache.put(1, "dog")
cache.put(2, "cat")
```
To read a cache entry by key:
```kotlin
cache.get(1) // returns "dog"
cache.get(2) // returns "cat"
cache.get(3) // returns null
```
To overwrite an existing cache entry:
```kotlin
cache.put(1, "dog")
cache.put(1, "bird")
cache.get(1) // returns "bird"
```
### Cache loader
**Cache** provides an API for getting cached value by key and using the provided `loader: suspend () -> Value` lambda to compute and cache the value automatically if none exists.
```kotlin
runBlockingTest {
val cache = Cache.Builder().build()
val userId = 1L
val user = cache.get(userId) {
fetchUserById(userId) // potentially expensive call (might be a suspend function)
}
// value successfully computed by the loader will be cached automatically
assertThat(user).isEqualTo(cache.get(userId))
}
```
Note that loader is executed on the caller's coroutine context. Concurrent calls from multiple threads using the same key will be blocked. Assuming the 1st call successfully computes a new value, none of the loader from the other calls will be executed and the cached value computed by the first loader will be returned for those calls.
Any exceptions thrown by the `loader` will be propagated to the caller of this function.
### Expirations and evictions
By default, **Cache** has an unlimited number of entries which never expire. But a cache can be configured to support both **time-based expirations** and **size-based evictions**.
#### Time-based expiration
Expiration time can be specified for entries in the cache.
##### Expire after access
To set the maximum time an entry can live in the cache since the last access (also known as **
time-to-idle**), where "access" means **reading the cache**, **adding a new cache entry**, or **
replacing an existing entry with a new one**:
```kotlin
val cache = Cache.Builder()
.expireAfterAccess(24.hours)
.build()
```
An entry in this cache will be removed if it has not been read or replaced **after 24 hours** since it's been written into the cache.
##### Expire after write
To set the maximum time an entry can live in the cache since the last write (also known as **
time-to-live**), where "write" means **adding a new cache entry** or **replacing an existing entry with a new one**:
```kotlin
val cache = Cache.Builder()
.expireAfterWrite(30.minutes)
.build()
```
An entry in this cache will be removed if it has not been replaced **after 30 minutes** since it's been written into the cache.
_Note that cache entries are **not** removed immediately upon expiration at exact time. Expirations are checked in each interaction with the `cache`._
### Size-based eviction
To set the maximum number of entries to be kept in the cache:
```kotlin
val cache = Cache.Builder()
.maximumCacheSize(100)
.build()
```
Once there are more than **100** entries in this cache, the **least recently used one** will be removed, where "used" means **reading the cache**, **adding a new cache entry**, or **replacing an
existing entry with a new one**.
### Getting all cache entries as a Map
To get a copy of the current cache entries as a `Map`:
```kotlin
val cache = Cache.Builder()
.build()
cache.put(1, "dog")
cache.put(2, "cat")
assertThat(cache.asMap())
.isEqualTo(mapOf(1L to "dog", 2L to "cat"))
```
_Note that calling `asMap()` has no effect on the access expiry of the cache._
### Deleting cache entries
Cache entries can also be deleted explicitly.
To delete a cache entry for a given key:
```kotlin
val cache = Cache.Builder().build()
cache.put(1, "dog")
cache.invalidate(1)
assertThat(cache.get(1)).isNull()
```
To delete all entries in the cache:
```kotlin
cache.invalidateAll()
```
### Event listener
You can set an event listener as a lambda:
```kotlin
val cache1 = Cache.Builder()
.eventListener { event ->
println("onEvent: $event")
}
.build()
```
Or declare it as a class and share logic across many stores:
```kotlin
class FileDeleteEventListener : CacheEventListener {
override fun onEvent(event: CacheEvent) {
when(event) {
is CacheEvent.Created -> {}
is CacheEvent.Updated -> event.oldValue.delete()
is CacheEvent.Evicted -> event.value.delete()
is CacheEvent.Expired -> event.value.delete()
is CacheEvent.Removed -> event.value.delete()
}
}
}
val fileDeleteEventListener = FileDeleteEventListener()
val cache1 = Cache.Builder()
.eventListener(fileDeleteEventListener)
.build()
val cache2 = Cache.Builder()
.eventListener(fileDeleteEventListener)
.build()
```
Cache entry event firing behaviors for mutative methods:
| Initial value | Operation | New value | Event |
|:-----------------|:-------------------------|:----------|:---------------------------------|
| {} | put(K, V) | {K: V} | Created(K, V) |
| {K: V1} | put(K, V2) | {K: V2} | Updated(K, V1, V2) |
| {K: V} | invalidate(K) | {} | Removed(K, V) |
| {K1: V1, K2: V2} | invalidateAll() | {} | Removed(K1, V1), Removed(K2, V2) |
| {K: V} | any operation, K expired | {} | Expired(K, V) |
| {K1: V1} | put(K2, V2), K1 evicted | {K2: V2} | Created(K2, V2), Evicted(K1, V1) |
### Unit testing cache expirations
To test logic that depends on cache expiration, pass in a `FakeTimeSource` when building a `Cache`
so you can programmatically advance the reading of the time source:
```kotlin
@Test
fun cacheEntryEvictedAfterExpiration() {
private val fakeTimeSource = FakeTimeSource()
val cache = Cache.Builder()
.timeSource(fakeTimeSource)
.expireAfterWrite(1.minutes)
.build()
cache.put(1, "dog")
// just before expiry
fakeTimeSource += 1.minutes - 1.nanoseconds
assertThat(cache.get(1))
.isEqualTo("dog")
// now expires
fakeTimeSource += 1.nanoseconds
assertThat(cache.get(1))
.isNull()
}
```
## Credits
The library was ported from a kotlin / JVM cache which I contributed to [dropbox/Store](https://github.com/dropbox/Store) to help unblock Store's multiplatform support (
it was reverted before the 1.0 release as multiplatform wasn't a priority). Many thanks to Store's owners and contributors for reviewing and improving the original implementation.
