Koop Memory Cache

DEPRECATED - now migrated to a package in the Koop monorepo.

Usage

This is the default cache for Koop so you won't need to instantiate it yourself. If you really wanted to, it would look like this:

const Koop = require('koop')
const koop = new Koop()
const cache = require('@koopjs/cache-memory')
koop.register(cache)

Cache API

The cache is a JavaScript object that lives in-memory. It is used to store geojson features.

insert

Insert geojson into the cache

Note: A metadata entry will be created automatically. It can be populated from an object on the inserted geojson.

const geojson = {
  type: 'FeatureCollection',
  features: [],
  metadata: { // Metadata is an arbitrary object that will be stored in the catalog under the same key as the geojson
    name: 'Example GeoJSON',
    description: 'This is geojson that will be stored in the cache'
  }
}

const options = {
  ttl: 1000 // The TTL option is measured in seconds, it will be used to set the `expires` field in the catalog entry
}

cache.insert('key', geojson, options, err => {
  // This function will call back with an error if there is already data in the cache using the same key
})

append

Add features to an existing geojson feature collection in the cache Note:

const geojson = {
  type: 'FeatureCollection',
  features: []
}
cache.append('key', geojson, err => {
  // This function will call back with an error if the cache key does not exist
})

update

Update a cached feature collection with new features. This will completely replace the features that are in the cache, but the metadata doc will remain in the catalog.

const geojson = {
  type: 'FeatureCollection',
  features: []
}

const options = {
  ttl: 1000
}
cache.update('key', geojson, options, err => {
  // This function will call back with an error if the cache key does not exist
})

upsert

Update a cached feature collection with new features or insert if the features are not there.

const geojson = {
  type: 'FeatureCollection',
  features: []
}

const options = {
  ttl: 1000
}

cache.upsert('key', geojson, options, err => {
  // This function will call back with an error if the cache key does not exist
})

retrieve

Retrieve a cached feature collection

const options = {} // For now there are no options on retrieve. This is meant for compatibility with the general cache API
cache.retrieve('key', options, (err, geojson) => {
  /* This function will call back with an error if there is no geojson in the cache
  The geojson returned will contain the metadata document from the catalog
  {
    type: 'FeatureCollection',
    features: [],
    metadata: {}
  }
  */
})

delete

Remove a feature collection from the cache

cache.delete('key', err => {
  // This function will call back with an error if there was nothing to delete
})

createStream

Create a stream of features from the cache

cache.createStream('key', options)
.pipe(/* do something with the stream of geojson features emitted one at a time */)

Catalog API

The catalog stores metadata about items that are in the cache.

catalog.insert

Add an arbitrary metadata document to the cache. Note: This is called automatically by insert

const metadata = {
  name: 'Standalone metadata',
  status: 'Processing',
  description: 'Metadata that is not attached to any other data in the cache'
}

cache.catalog.insert('key', metadata, err => {
  // this function will call back with an error if there is already a metadata document using the same key
})

catalog.update

Update a metadata entry

const original = {
  name: 'Doc',
  status: 'Processing'
}
cache.catalog.insert('key', original)

const update = {
  status: 'Cached'
}

cache.catalog.update('key', update, err => {
  // this function will call back with an error if there is no metadata in the catalog using that key
})

cache.catalog.retrieve('key', (err, metadata) => {
  /*
    Updates are merged into the existing metadata document
    Return value will be:
    {
      name: 'Doc',
      status: 'Cached'
    }
  */
})

catalog.retrieve

Retrieve a metadata entry from the catalog

cache.catalog.retrieve('key', (err, metadata) => {
  // This function will call back with an error if there is no metadata stored under the given key
  // Or else it will call back with the stored metadata doc
})

catalog.delete

Remove a catalog entry from the catalog Note: This cannot be called if data is in the cache under the same key

cache.catalog.delete('key', err => {
  // This function will call back with an error if there is nothing to delete or if there is still data in the cache using the same key
})
