burry.js

A simple caching layer on the browser's localStorage

Usage

Creation

Create a Burry Store, optionally passing a namespace. A default store is always available with no namespace:

var burry = new Burry.Store('mystuff');

If you want to also set a default time-to-live on a namespaced store, pass the time-to-live as a second parameter. For instance,

var burrywithttl = new Burry.Store('mystuff', 10);

will create a store where the default time-to-live when you set items is 10 minutes.

You can obtain all available stores, by invoking stores():

var stores = Burry.stores(); // stores is ['', 'mystuff']

Getting/Setting

set and get JSON-serializable javascript objects easily to and from the cache.

burry.set('foo', {bar: 'burry'});
var foo = burry.get('foo'); // foo is {bar: 'burry'}
foo = burry.get('unknown'); // foo is undefined

You can specify a time-to-live per key/value. This is expressed in minutes:

burry.set('foo', {bar: 'burry'}, 10);
var foo = burry.get('foo'); // foo is {bar: 'burry'}
...
// Ten minutes later...
foo = burry.get('foo'); // foo is undefined and also removed from localStorage

Attempting to set when the localStorage is full, will try again after flushing expired key/values from the cache. If this does not succeed either, your set will be ignored.

Counters

You can increment/decrement persistent counters. If the counter does not exist, it is initialized with the value 0.

burry.incr('counter');
burry.incr('counter');
var counter = burry.get('counter'); // counter === 2
burry.decr('counter');
counter = burry.get('counter'); // counter === 1

Helpers

The following more esoteric functions are also exposed:

• burry.add(key, value, ttl), same as set except it will only add the key if it does not already exist, or it has already expired.
• burry.replace(key, value, ttl), same as set except it will only add the key if it does already exist and has not expired.
• burry.flush(), removes from localStorage all Burry items.
• burry.flushExpired(), removes from localStorage all expired Burry items of the store.
• Burry.flushExpired(), removes from localStorage all expired Burry items of all stores.
• burry.keys(), returns all stored keys.
• burry.expirableKeys() return an dictionary of key/values where the values are the TTL of the keys from Epoch.
• burry.hasExpired(key), returns whether a key has expired.
• Burry.isSupported(), returns whether localStorage and JSON serialization are supported on the browser.
