# lru-queue
|
|
## Size limited queue based on [LRU](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_Recently_Used#LRU) algorithm
|
|
|
|
_Originally derived from [memoizee](https://github.com/medikoo/memoize) package._
|
|
|
|
It's low-level utility meant to be used internally within cache algorithms. It backs up [`max`](https://github.com/medikoo/memoize#limiting-cache-size) functionality in [memoizee](https://github.com/medikoo/memoize) project.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
$ npm install lru-queue
|
|
|
|
To port it to Browser or any other (non CJS) environment, use your favorite CJS bundler. No favorite yet? Try: [Browserify](http://browserify.org/), [Webmake](https://github.com/medikoo/modules-webmake) or [Webpack](http://webpack.github.io/)
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
Create queue, and provide a limit
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var lruQueue = require('lru-queue');
|
|
var queue = lruQueue(3); // limit size to 3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each queue exposes three methods:
|
|
|
|
#### queue.hit(id)
|
|
|
|
Registers hit for given _id_ (must be plain string).
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
queue.hit('raz'); // size: 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If hit doesn't remove any old item from list it returns `undefined`, otherwise it returns removed _id_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
queue.hit('dwa'); // undefined, size: 2
|
|
queue.hit('trzy'); // undefined, size: 3 (at max)
|
|
queue.hit('raz'); // undefined, size: 3 (at max)
|
|
queue.hit('dwa'); // undefined, size: 3 (at max)
|
|
queue.hit('cztery'); // 'trzy', size: 3 (at max)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### queue.delete(id);
|
|
|
|
_id's_ can be cleared from queue externally
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
queue.delete('raz'); // size: 2
|
|
queue.delete('cztery'); // size: 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### queue.clear();
|
|
|
|
Resets queue
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
queue.clear(); // size: 0
|
|
```
