- # mem [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/mem.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/sindresorhus/mem)
-
- > [Memoize](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization) functions - An optimization used to speed up consecutive function calls by caching the result of calls with identical input
-
- Memory is automatically released when an item expires.
-
-
- ## Install
-
- ```
- $ npm install mem
- ```
-
-
- ## Usage
-
- ```js
- 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
-
- ```js
- const mem = require('mem');
-
- let i = 0;
- const counter = async () => ++i;
- const memoized = mem(counter);
-
- (async () => {
- console.log(await memoized());
- //=> 1
-
- // The return value didn't increase as it's cached
- console.log(await memoized());
- //=> 1
- })();
- ```
-
- ```js
- const mem = require('mem');
- const got = require('got');
- const delay = require('delay');
-
- const memGot = mem(got, {maxAge: 1000});
-
- (async () => {
- await memGot('sindresorhus.com');
-
- // This call is cached
- await memGot('sindresorhus.com');
-
- await delay(2000);
-
- // This call is not cached as the cache has expired
- await memGot('sindresorhus.com');
- })();
- ```
-
-
- ## API
-
- ### mem(fn, [options])
-
- #### fn
-
- Type: `Function`
-
- Function to be memoized.
-
- #### options
-
- Type: `Object`
-
- ##### maxAge
-
- Type: `number`<br>
- 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](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/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`<br>
- Default: `new Map()`
-
- Use a different cache storage. Must implement the following methods: `.has(key)`, `.get(key)`, `.set(key, value)`, `.delete(key)`, and optionally `.clear()`. You could for example use a `WeakMap` instead or [`quick-lru`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-lru) for a LRU cache.
-
- ##### cachePromiseRejection
-
- Type: `boolean`<br>
- Default: `false`
-
- Cache rejected promises.
-
- ### 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](https://github.com/SamVerschueren/stats-map) as a replacement for the default cache.
-
- #### Example
-
- ```js
- const mem = require('mem');
- const StatsMap = require('stats-map');
- const got = require('got');
-
- const cache = new StatsMap();
- const memGot = mem(got, {cache});
-
- (async () => {
- await memGot('sindresorhus.com');
- await memGot('sindresorhus.com');
- await memGot('sindresorhus.com');
-
- console.log(cache.stats);
- //=> {hits: 2, misses: 1}
- })();
- ```
