							- # lru cache
 
- A cache object that deletes the least-recently-used items.
 
- [](https://travis-ci.org/isaacs/node-lru-cache) [](https://coveralls.io/github/isaacs/node-lru-cache)
 
- ## Installation:
 
- ```javascript
 
- npm install lru-cache --save
 
- ```
 
- ## Usage:
 
- ```javascript
 
- var LRU = require("lru-cache")
 
-   , options = { max: 500
 
-               , length: function (n, key) { return n * 2 + key.length }
 
-               , dispose: function (key, n) { n.close() }
 
-               , maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 }
 
-   , cache = LRU(options)
 
-   , otherCache = LRU(50) // sets just the max size
 
- cache.set("key", "value")
 
- cache.get("key") // "value"
 
- // non-string keys ARE fully supported
 
- // but note that it must be THE SAME object, not
 
- // just a JSON-equivalent object.
 
- var someObject = { a: 1 }
 
- cache.set(someObject, 'a value')
 
- // Object keys are not toString()-ed
 
- cache.set('[object Object]', 'a different value')
 
- assert.equal(cache.get(someObject), 'a value')
 
- // A similar object with same keys/values won't work,
 
- // because it's a different object identity
 
- assert.equal(cache.get({ a: 1 }), undefined)
 
- cache.reset()    // empty the cache
 
- ```
 
- If you put more stuff in it, then items will fall out.
 
- If you try to put an oversized thing in it, then it'll fall out right
 
- away.
 
- ## Options
 
- * `max` The maximum size of the cache, checked by applying the length
 
-   function to all values in the cache.  Not setting this is kind of
 
-   silly, since that's the whole purpose of this lib, but it defaults
 
-   to `Infinity`.
 
- * `maxAge` Maximum age in ms.  Items are not pro-actively pruned out
 
-   as they age, but if you try to get an item that is too old, it'll
 
-   drop it and return undefined instead of giving it to you.
 
- * `length` Function that is used to calculate the length of stored
 
-   items.  If you're storing strings or buffers, then you probably want
 
-   to do something like `function(n, key){return n.length}`.  The default is
 
-   `function(){return 1}`, which is fine if you want to store `max`
 
-   like-sized things.  The item is passed as the first argument, and
 
-   the key is passed as the second argumnet.
 
- * `dispose` Function that is called on items when they are dropped
 
-   from the cache.  This can be handy if you want to close file
 
-   descriptors or do other cleanup tasks when items are no longer
 
-   accessible.  Called with `key, value`.  It's called *before*
 
-   actually removing the item from the internal cache, so if you want
 
-   to immediately put it back in, you'll have to do that in a
 
-   `nextTick` or `setTimeout` callback or it won't do anything.
 
- * `stale` By default, if you set a `maxAge`, it'll only actually pull
 
-   stale items out of the cache when you `get(key)`.  (That is, it's
 
-   not pre-emptively doing a `setTimeout` or anything.)  If you set
 
-   `stale:true`, it'll return the stale value before deleting it.  If
 
-   you don't set this, then it'll return `undefined` when you try to
 
-   get a stale entry, as if it had already been deleted.
 
- * `noDisposeOnSet` By default, if you set a `dispose()` method, then
 
-   it'll be called whenever a `set()` operation overwrites an existing
 
-   key.  If you set this option, `dispose()` will only be called when a
 
-   key falls out of the cache, not when it is overwritten.
 
- ## API
 
- * `set(key, value, maxAge)`
 
- * `get(key) => value`
 
-     Both of these will update the "recently used"-ness of the key.
 
-     They do what you think. `maxAge` is optional and overrides the
 
-     cache `maxAge` option if provided.
 
-     If the key is not found, `get()` will return `undefined`.
 
-     The key and val can be any value.
 
- * `peek(key)`
 
-     Returns the key value (or `undefined` if not found) without
 
-     updating the "recently used"-ness of the key.
 
-     (If you find yourself using this a lot, you *might* be using the
 
-     wrong sort of data structure, but there are some use cases where
 
-     it's handy.)
 
- * `del(key)`
 
-     Deletes a key out of the cache.
 
- * `reset()`
 
-     Clear the cache entirely, throwing away all values.
 
- * `has(key)`
 
-     Check if a key is in the cache, without updating the recent-ness
 
-     or deleting it for being stale.
 
- * `forEach(function(value,key,cache), [thisp])`
 
-     Just like `Array.prototype.forEach`.  Iterates over all the keys
 
-     in the cache, in order of recent-ness.  (Ie, more recently used
 
-     items are iterated over first.)
 
- * `rforEach(function(value,key,cache), [thisp])`
 
-     The same as `cache.forEach(...)` but items are iterated over in
 
-     reverse order.  (ie, less recently used items are iterated over
 
-     first.)
 
- * `keys()`
 
-     Return an array of the keys in the cache.
 
- * `values()`
 
-     Return an array of the values in the cache.
 
- * `length`
 
-     Return total length of objects in cache taking into account
 
-     `length` options function.
 
- * `itemCount`
 
-     Return total quantity of objects currently in cache. Note, that
 
-     `stale` (see options) items are returned as part of this item
 
-     count.
 
- * `dump()`
 
-     Return an array of the cache entries ready for serialization and usage
 
-     with 'destinationCache.load(arr)`.
 
- * `load(cacheEntriesArray)`
 
-     Loads another cache entries array, obtained with `sourceCache.dump()`,
 
-     into the cache. The destination cache is reset before loading new entries
 
- * `prune()`
 
-     Manually iterates over the entire cache proactively pruning old entries
