Function results can set `FusionCacheEntryOptions.Duration` #23

Closed JoeShook closed 3 years ago

JoeShook commented 3 years ago

I have a use case where the returned data from a function passed to FusionCache contains the TTL (time to live), kind of like a DNS query answer. I would like to use that result to set the duration from calls like GetOrSetAsync .

I see MemoryOptionsModifier was something that might have been the way to go but the property is marked obsolete and not wired in.

Of course I can call TryGetAsync and then SetAsync in the meantime. @jodydonetti curious about your thoughts on this?

Yes, this is an absolutely reasonable requirement, so much so that other people alredy asked for it and is already in my backlog 😄 (see #17)

Yes, because it was an early experiment into that kind of feature, but the split between memory and distributed modifiers was not the greatest idea. Since I want to do something better, and the right design is not that straightforward, I postponed that decision and kept playing with different designs to strike the right balance.

I'm closing this since it is basically a duplicate of #17 but I hope to be able to have news on this feature quite soon!

This sounds great. I figured my request was buried inside one of the other issues. Thanks.

Hi @JoeShook ! I've finally found some time to put down in words a couple of proposals for this here #24 ! I would be really interesed in knowing what you think.
