cacheLife function

The cacheLife function is used to set the cache duration for a cache context. This allows you to specify how long the cached data should be considered valid before it expires and needs to be refreshed.

Basic Usage

import { cacheLife } from '@commandkit/cache';
import { database } from '../database.ts';

async function getUserProfile(userId: string) {
  'use cache';

  // Set cache duration to 1 hour
  cacheLife('1h');

  // Fetch user data from the database
  return await database.getUser(userId);
}

Cache Duration Format

You can specify cache duration in multiple formats:

• Milliseconds: cacheLife(60_000); // 1 minute
• String shortcuts:
  • '5s' - 5 seconds
  • '1m' - 1 minute
  • '2h' - 2 hours
  • '1d' - 1 day
