- > Basic object cache with `get`, `set`, `del`, and `has` methods for node.js/javascript projects.
 
- ## Install
 
- Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
 
- ```sh
 
- $ npm install --save cache-base
 
- ```
 
- ## Usage
 
- ```js
 
- var Cache = require('cache-base');
 
- // instantiate
 
- var app = new Cache();
 
- // set values
 
- app.set('a', 'b');
 
- app.set('c.d', 'e');
 
- // get values
 
- app.get('a');
 
- //=> 'b'
 
- app.get('c');
 
- //=> {d: 'e'}
 
- console.log(app.cache);
 
- //=> {a: 'b'}
 
- ```
 
- **Inherit**
 
- ```js
 
- var util = require('util');
 
- var Cache = require('cache-base');
 
- function MyApp() {
 
-   Cache.call(this);
 
- }
 
- util.inherits(MyApp, Cache);
 
- var app = new MyApp();
 
- app.set('a', 'b');
 
- app.get('a');
 
- //=> 'b'
 
- ```
 
- **Namespace**
 
- Define a custom property for storing values.
 
- ```js
 
- var Cache = require('cache-base').namespace('data');
 
- var app = new Cache();
 
- app.set('a', 'b');
 
- console.log(app.data);
 
- //=> {a: 'b'}
 
- ```
 
- ## API
 
- ### [namespace](index.js#L29)
 
- Create a `Cache` constructor that when instantiated will store values on the given `prop`.
 
- **Params**
 
- * `prop` **{String}**: The property name to use for storing values.
 
- * `returns` **{Function}**: Returns a custom `Cache` constructor
 
- **Example**
 
- ```js
 
- var Cache = require('cache-base').namespace('data');
 
- var cache = new Cache();
 
- cache.set('foo', 'bar');
 
- //=> {data: {foo: 'bar'}}
 
- ```
 
- ### [Cache](index.js#L43)
 
- Create a new `Cache`. Internally the `Cache` constructor is created using the `namespace` function, with `cache` defined as the storage object.
 
- **Params**
 
- * `cache` **{Object}**: Optionally pass an object to initialize with.
 
- **Example**
 
- ```js
 
- var app = new Cache();
 
- ```
 
- ### [.set](index.js#L84)
 
- Assign `value` to `key`. Also emits `set` with the key and value.
 
- **Params**
 
- * `key` **{String}**
 
- * `value` **{any}**
 
- * `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the instance for chaining.
 
- **Events**
 
- * `emits`: `set` with `key` and `value` as arguments.
 
- **Example**
 
- ```js
 
- app.on('set', function(key, val) {
 
-   // do something when `set` is emitted
 
- });
 
- app.set(key, value);
 
- // also takes an object or array
 
- app.set({name: 'Halle'});
 
- app.set([{foo: 'bar'}, {baz: 'quux'}]);
 
- console.log(app);
 
- //=> {name: 'Halle', foo: 'bar', baz: 'quux'}
 
- ```
 
- ### [.union](index.js#L114)
 
- Union `array` to `key`. Also emits `set` with the key and value.
 
- **Params**
 
- * `key` **{String}**
 
- * `value` **{any}**
 
- * `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the instance for chaining.
 
- **Example**
 
- ```js
 
- app.union('a.b', ['foo']);
 
- app.union('a.b', ['bar']);
 
- console.log(app.get('a'));
 
- //=> {b: ['foo', 'bar']}
 
- ```
 
- ### [.get](index.js#L144)
 
- Return the value of `key`. Dot notation may be used to get [nested property values](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/get-value).
 
- **Params**
 
- * `key` **{String}**: The name of the property to get. Dot-notation may be used.
 
- * `returns` **{any}**: Returns the value of `key`
 
- **Events**
 
- * `emits`: `get` with `key` and `value` as arguments.
 
- **Example**
 
- ```js
 
- app.set('a.b.c', 'd');
 
- app.get('a.b');
 
- //=> {c: 'd'}
 
- app.get(['a', 'b']);
 
- //=> {c: 'd'}
 
- ```
 
- ### [.has](index.js#L171)
 
- Return true if app has a stored value for `key`, false only if value is `undefined`.
 
- **Params**
 
- * `key` **{String}**
 
- * `returns` **{Boolean}**
 
- **Events**
 
- * `emits`: `has` with `key` and true or false as arguments.
 
- **Example**
 
- ```js
 
- app.set('foo', 'bar');
 
- app.has('foo');
 
- //=> true
 
- ```
 
- ### [.del](index.js#L199)
 
- Delete one or more properties from the instance.
 
- **Params**
 
- * `key` **{String|Array}**: Property name or array of property names.
 
- * `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the instance for chaining.
 
- **Events**
 
- * `emits`: `del` with the `key` as the only argument.
 
- **Example**
 
- ```js
 
- app.del(); // delete all
 
- // or
 
- app.del('foo');
 
- // or
 
- app.del(['foo', 'bar']);
 
- ```
 
- ### [.clear](index.js#L218)
 
- Reset the entire cache to an empty object.
 
- **Example**
 
- ```js
 
- app.clear();
 
- ```
 
- ### [.visit](index.js#L235)
 
- Visit `method` over the properties in the given object, or map
 
- visit over the object-elements in an array.
 
- **Params**
 
- * `method` **{String}**: The name of the `base` method to call.
 
- * `val` **{Object|Array}**: The object or array to iterate over.
 
- * `returns` **{Object}**: Returns the instance for chaining.
