ICache

Interface for caches that are used to cache values to improve performance.

The ICache interface defines methods for caches that are used to cache values to improve performance.

Removes a value from the cache by its key.

Future<dynamic> remove(IContext? context, String key)

context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
key: String - unique value key.
returns: Future<dynamic> - Future that receives a null for success

Retrieves a cached value from the cache using its key. If the value is missing in the cache or expired it returns null.

Future<dynamic> retrieve(IContext? context, String key)

context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
key: String - unique value key.
returns: Future<dynamic> - cached value or null if value wasn’t found or timeout expired.

Stores a value in the cache with expiration time.

Future<dynamic> store(IContext? context, String key, value, int timeout)

context: IContext - (optional) a context to trace execution through a call chain.
key: String - unique value key.
value: dynamic - value to store.
timeout: int - expiration timeout in milliseconds.
returns: Future<dynamic> - cached value stored in the cache.
