| # cache-base [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cache-base) [](https://npmjs.org/package/cache-base) [](https://npmjs.org/package/cache-base) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/cache-base)
 | |
| 
 | |
| > Basic object cache with `get`, `set`, `del`, and `has` methods for node.js/javascript projects.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Install
 | |
| 
 | |
| Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```sh
 | |
| $ npm install --save cache-base
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Usage
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| var Cache = require('cache-base');
 | |
| 
 | |
| // instantiate
 | |
| var app = new Cache();
 | |
| 
 | |
| // set values
 | |
| app.set('a', 'b');
 | |
| app.set('c.d', 'e');
 | |
| 
 | |
| // get values
 | |
| app.get('a');
 | |
| //=> 'b'
 | |
| app.get('c');
 | |
| //=> {d: 'e'}
 | |
| 
 | |
| console.log(app.cache);
 | |
| //=> {a: 'b'}
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Inherit**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| var util = require('util');
 | |
| var Cache = require('cache-base');
 | |
| 
 | |
| function MyApp() {
 | |
|   Cache.call(this);
 | |
| }
 | |
| util.inherits(MyApp, Cache);
 | |
| 
 | |
| var app = new MyApp();
 | |
| app.set('a', 'b');
 | |
| app.get('a');
 | |
| //=> 'b'
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Namespace**
 | |
| 
 | |
| Define a custom property for storing values.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| var Cache = require('cache-base').namespace('data');
 | |
| var app = new Cache();
 | |
| app.set('a', 'b');
 | |
| console.log(app.data);
 | |
| //=> {a: 'b'}
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## API
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [namespace](index.js#L29)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Create a `Cache` constructor that when instantiated will store values on the given `prop`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `prop` **{String}**: The property name to use for storing values.
 | |
| * `returns` **{Function}**: Returns a custom `Cache` constructor
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| var Cache = require('cache-base').namespace('data');
 | |
| var cache = new Cache();
 | |
| 
 | |
| cache.set('foo', 'bar');
 | |
| //=> {data: {foo: 'bar'}}
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [Cache](index.js#L43)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Create a new `Cache`. Internally the `Cache` constructor is created using the `namespace` function, with `cache` defined as the storage object.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `cache` **{Object}**: Optionally pass an object to initialize with.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| var app = new Cache();
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [.set](index.js#L84)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Assign `value` to `key`. Also emits `set` with the key and value.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `key` **{String}**
 | |
| * `value` **{any}**
 | |
| * `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the instance for chaining.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Events**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `emits`: `set` with `key` and `value` as arguments.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| app.on('set', function(key, val) {
 | |
|   // do something when `set` is emitted
 | |
| });
 | |
| 
 | |
| app.set(key, value);
 | |
| 
 | |
| // also takes an object or array
 | |
| app.set({name: 'Halle'});
 | |
| app.set([{foo: 'bar'}, {baz: 'quux'}]);
 | |
| console.log(app);
 | |
| //=> {name: 'Halle', foo: 'bar', baz: 'quux'}
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [.union](index.js#L114)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Union `array` to `key`. Also emits `set` with the key and value.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `key` **{String}**
 | |
| * `value` **{any}**
 | |
| * `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the instance for chaining.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| app.union('a.b', ['foo']);
 | |
| app.union('a.b', ['bar']);
 | |
| console.log(app.get('a'));
 | |
| //=> {b: ['foo', 'bar']}
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [.get](index.js#L144)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Return the value of `key`. Dot notation may be used to get [nested property values](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/get-value).
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `key` **{String}**: The name of the property to get. Dot-notation may be used.
 | |
| * `returns` **{any}**: Returns the value of `key`
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Events**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `emits`: `get` with `key` and `value` as arguments.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| app.set('a.b.c', 'd');
 | |
| app.get('a.b');
 | |
| //=> {c: 'd'}
 | |
| 
 | |
| app.get(['a', 'b']);
 | |
| //=> {c: 'd'}
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [.has](index.js#L171)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Return true if app has a stored value for `key`, false only if value is `undefined`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
|

| * `key` **{String}**
 | |
| * `returns` **{Boolean}**
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Events**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `emits`: `has` with `key` and true or false as arguments.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| app.set('foo', 'bar');
 | |
| app.has('foo');
 | |
| //=> true
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [.del](index.js#L199)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Delete one or more properties from the instance.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `key` **{String|Array}**: Property name or array of property names.
 | |
| * `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the instance for chaining.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Events**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `emits`: `del` with the `key` as the only argument.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Example**
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| app.del(); // delete all
 | |
| // or
 | |
| app.del('foo');
 | |
| // or
 | |
| app.del(['foo', 'bar']);
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [.clear](index.js#L218)
 | |
| 
 | |
| Reset the entire cache to an empty object.
 | |

 | |
| 
 | |
| ### [.visit](index.js#L235)
 | |

 | |
| Visit `method` over the properties in the given object, or map
 | |
| visit over the object-elements in an array.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Params**
 | |
| 
 | |
| * `method` **{String}**: The name of the `base` method to call.
