hyperlru

Last version

Tiny & Fast LRU Implementation as possible.

Features

Fast: High performance (See benchmark).
Simple: The whole project is ~60 lines of code.
Lightweight: The package weighs less than a megabyte, with zero dependencies.

There are a lot of LRU implementations, but most of them have a poor perfomance and they are hard to understand.

hyperlru is an Abstract LRU implementation using traditional and efficienty data structures:

Double Linked List: It maintains the least recent list of items.
Hash Table It keeps the data for easily access to cache content.

For use it, you need to provide one of the created providers:

Install

$ npm install hyperlru --save

Usage

const hyperlru = require('hyperlru')
const myProvider = require('my-hyperlru-provider')

const createLRU = hyperlru(myProvider)
const cache = createLRU({ max: 1000 })
