mem

Memoize functions - An optimization used to speed up consecutive function calls by caching the result of calls with identical input

Install

$ npm install --save mem

Usage

const mem = require('mem');

let i = 0;
const counter = () => ++i;
const memoized = mem(counter);

memoized('foo');
//=> 1

// cached as it's the same arguments
memoized('foo');
//=> 1

// not cached anymore as the arguments changed
memoized('bar');
//=> 2

memoized('bar');
//=> 2

Works fine with promise returning functions

const mem = require('mem');

let i = 0;
const counter = () => Promise.resolve(++i);
const memoized = mem(counter);

memoized().then(a => {
	console.log(a);
	//=> 1

	memoized().then(b => {
		// the return value didn't increase as it's cached
		console.log(b);
		//=> 1
	});
});

const mem = require('mem');
const got = require('got');
const memGot = mem(got, {maxAge: 1000});

memGot('sindresorhus.com').then(() => {
	// this call is cached
	memGot('sindresorhus.com').then(() => {
		setTimeout(() => {
			// this call is not cached as the cache has expired
			memGot('sindresorhus.com').then(() => {});
		}, 2000);
	});
});

API

mem(fn, [options])

fn

Type: Function

Function to be memoized.

options

maxAge

Type: number
Default: Infinity

Milliseconds until the cache expires.

cacheKey

Type: Function

Determines the cache key for storing the result based on the function arguments. By default, if there's only one argument and it's a primitive, it's used directly as a key, otherwise it's all the function arguments JSON stringified as an array.

You could for example change it to only cache on the first argument x => JSON.stringify(x).

cache

Type: Object
Default: new Map()

Use a different cache storage. Must implement the following methods: .has(key), .get(key), .set(key, value), and optionally .clear(). You could for example use a WeakMap instead.

mem.clear(fn)

Clear all cached data of a memoized function.

fn

Type: Function

Memoized function.

Tips

Cache statistics

If you want to know how many times your cache had a hit or a miss, you can make use of stats-map as a replacement for the default cache.

Example

const mem = require('mem');
const StatsMap = require('stats-map');
const got = require('got');

const cache = new StatsMap();
const memGot = mem(got, {cache});

memGot('sindresorhus.com')
	.then(() => memGot('sindresorhus.com'))
	.then(() => memGot('sindresorhus.com'));

console.log(cache.stats);
//=> {hits: 2, misses: 1}
