Golang Cache Adapters

A set of Cache Adapters for various distributed systems (like Redis) written in Go.

Now with a new MultiCacheAdapter implementation!

Supported CacheAdapter implementations

• MultiCache -> Leverages the possibility to use multiple cache adapters at the same time, useful to create fallbacks in case one or more of the cache service you specified gives temporary errors.
• Redis -> using github.com/gomodule/redigo
• MongoDB -> using github.com/mongodb/mongo-go-driver
• InMemory -> Uses a map of objects with expiration of keys

Library reference

Just check the GoDocs

Install

Just use the standard way

go get github.com/tryvium-travels/golang-cache-adapters

or use go modules, it should take care of this automagically.

Usage

The CacheAdapter interface offers 2 main ways to access a cache: Get and Set methods.

You can use Delete and SetTTL functions as well. For more info, check the docs.

This example creates a new RedisAdapter and uses it, but you can replace it with any of the other supported Adapters.

To know how to use the MultiCacheAdapter check out the docs.

package main

import (
	"log"
	"time"

	"github.com/gomodule/redigo/redis"
	cacheadapters "github.com/tryvium-travels/golang-cache-adapters"
	rediscacheadapters "github.com/tryvium-travels/golang-cache-adapters/redis"
)

func main() {
	redisURI := "rediss://my-redis-instance-uri:port"

	myRedisPool := &redis.Pool{
		Dial: func() (redis.Conn, error) {
			// obtain a redis connection, there
			// are plenty of ways to do that.
			return redis.DialURL(redisURI)
		},
	}

	exampleTTL := time.Hour

	adapter, err := rediscacheadapters.New(myRedisPool, exampleTTL)
	if err != nil {
		// remember to check for errors
		log.Fatalf("Adapter initialization error: %s", err)
	}

	type exampleStruct struct {
		Value string
	}

	exampleKey := "a:redis:key"

	var exampleValue exampleStruct
	err = adapter.Get(exampleKey, &exampleValue)
	if err != nil {
		// remember to check for errors
		log.Fatalf("adapter.Get error: %s", err)
	}

	exampleKey = "another:redis:key"

	// nil TTL represents the default value put in the New function
	err = adapter.Set(exampleKey, exampleValue, nil)
	if err != nil {
		// remember to check for errors
		log.Fatalf("adapter.Get error: %s", err)
	}
}

Contributing

First of all, thank you!

To contribute to our project:

1. Open an Issue signaling bugs or proposals using the provided templates
2. If you are going to add a new adapter, please stick to the NAMING CONVENTION for branch, package, folder, file and adapter names.
3. We require a total test coverage (100%) if we are going to accept a new adapter, we can help you if you have any difficulties to achieve that.
4. Please be polite in issue and PR discussions and do not offend other people.

Naming Convention

The following naming convention applies if you want to contribute:

1. Branch name should follow the following form

   adapters/{{ADAPTER_NAME}}-#{{GITHUB_ISSUE_ID}}

   Example branch name: adapters/redis-#1

2. If you add a new adapter:

   The name of the folder must match the lowercase adapter name (e.g. redis/mongodb/memcached)

   We strongly suggest you to create an adapter and a session_adapter go file, although it is not required.

   Example file names:

   redis_adapter.go and redis_session_adapter.go

   Example test file names:

   redis_adapter_test.go and redis_session_adapter_test.go.

   There must also be test files with 100% test coverage.
