[TMCache](TMCache/TMCache.h) is a key/value store designed for persisting temporary objects that are expensive to reproduce, such as downloaded data or the results of slow processing. It is comprised of two self-similar stores, one in memory ([TMMemoryCache](TMCache/TMMemoryCache.h)) and one on disk ([TMDiskCache](TMCache/TMDiskCache.h)), all backed by GCD and safe to access from multiple threads simultaneously. On iOS, `TMMemoryCache` will clear itself when the app receives a memory warning or goes into the background. Objects stored in `TMDiskCache` remain until you trim the cache yourself, either manually or by setting a byte or age limit.
`TMCache` and `TMDiskCache` accept any object conforming to [NSCoding](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Protocols/NSCoding_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html). Put things in like this:
```objective-c
UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:data scale:[[UIScreen mainScreen] scale]];
[[TMCache sharedCache] setObject:img forKey:@"image" block:nil]; // returns immediately
```
Get them back out like this:
```objective-c
[[TMCache sharedCache] objectForKey:@"image"
block:^(TMCache *cache, NSString *key, id object) {
UIImage *image = (UIImage *)object;
NSLog(@"image scale: %f", image.scale);
}];
```
`TMMemoryCache` allows for concurrent reads and serialized writes, while `TMDiskCache` serializes disk access across all instances in the app to increase performance and prevent file contention. `TMCache` coordinates them so that objects added to memory are available immediately to other threads while being written to disk safely in the background. Both caches are public properties of `TMCache`, so it's easy to manipulate one or the other separately if necessary.
Collections work too. Thanks to the magic of `NSKeyedArchiver`, objects repeated in a collection only occupy the space of one on disk:
```objective-c
NSArray *images = @[ image, image, image ];
[[TMCache sharedCache] setObject:images forKey:@"images"];
NSLog(@"3 for the price of 1: %d", [[[TMCache sharedCache] diskCache] byteCount]);
```
## Installation
### Manually
[Download the latest tag](https://github.com/tumblr/TMCache/tags) and drag the `TMCache` folder into your Xcode project.
Install the docs by double clicking the `.docset` file under `docs/`, or view them online at [cocoadocs.org](http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/TMCache/)
### Git Submodule
git submodule add https://github.com/tumblr/TMCache.git
git submodule update --init
### CocoaPods
Add [TMCache](http://cocoapods.org/?q=name%3ATMCache) to your `Podfile` and run `pod install`.
## Requirements
__TMCache__ requires iOS 5.0 or OS X 10.7 and greater.
