Keyv is a simple key-value storage with support for multiple backend adapters (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Redis, Mongo, DynamoDB, Firestore, Memcached, and more).
Features
Forked from keyv, plus:
- It isn't bloated.
- It supports namespaces.
- It supports TTL based expiry.
- It has a simple Promise based API.
- It handles all JSON types plus
Buffer. - It's support a vary of storages adapters.
- It can be easily embed inside another module.
- It works with any storage that implements the Map API.
- it handles database errors (db failures won't kill your app).
- It supports the current active LTS version of Node.js or higher.
- It's suitable as a TTL based cache or persistent key-value store.
Installation
npm install @keyvhq/core --saveYou can optionally install the storage adapter you want to use:
npm install @keyvhq/redis --save
npm install @keyvhq/mongo --save
npm install @keyvhq/sqlite --save
npm install @keyvhq/postgres --save
npm install @keyvhq/mysql --saveIf you don't provide a specific storage adapter, a in-memory storage adapter is used by default.
Usage
Just create a new Keyv instance, using an specific storage adapter:
const keyv = new Keyv() // in-memory, by default
const keyvRedis = new Keyv({ store: new KeyvRedis('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379')})
const keyvMongo = new Keyv({ store: new KeyvMongo('mongodb://user:pass@localhost:27017/dbname')})
const keyvSQLite = new Keyv({ store: new KeyvSQLite('sqlite://path/to/database.sqlite')})
const keyvPostgreSQL = new Keyv({ store: new KeyvPostgreSQL('postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/dbname')})
const keyvMySQL = new Keyv({ store: new KeyvMySQL('mysql://user:pass@localhost:3306/dbname')})
await keyv.set('foo', 'expires in 1 second', 1000) // true
await keyv.set('foo', 'never expires') // true
await keyv.get('foo') // 'never expires'
await keyv.has('foo') // true
await keyv.delete('foo') // true
await keyv.has('foo') // false
await keyv.clear() // undefinedNamespaces
You can namespace your Keyv instance to avoid key collisions and allow you to clear only a certain namespace while using the same database.
const users = new Keyv({ store: new KeyvRedis('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379'), namespace: 'users' })
const cache = new Keyv({ store: new KeyvRedis('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379'), namespace: 'cache' })
await users.set('foo', 'users') // true
await cache.set('foo', 'cache') // true
await users.get('foo') // 'users'
await cache.get('foo') // 'cache'
await users.clear() // undefined
await users.get('foo') // undefined
await cache.get('foo') // 'cache'Serialization
Keyv uses json-buffer for data serialization to ensure consistency across different backends.
You can optionally provide your own serialization functions to support extra data types or to serialize to something other than JSON.
The following example is using @keyvhq/compress as serializer:
const KeyvCompress = require('@keyvhq/compress')
const Keyv = require('@keyvhq/core')
const keyv = KeyvCompress(
new Keyv({
serialize: v8.serialize,
deserialize: v8.deserialize
})
)Storage adapters
Keyv is designed to be easily embedded into other modules to add cache support.
Caching will work in memory by default and users have the option to also install a Keyv storage adapter and pass in a connection string, or any other storage that implements the Map API.
const KeyvRedis = require('@keyvhq/redis')
const Keyv = require('@keyvhq/core')
const got = require('got')
const cache = new Keyv({ store: new KeyvRedis('redis://user:pass@localhost:6379') })
await got('https://keyv.js.org', { cache })The recommended pattern is to expose a cache option in your modules options which is passed through to Keyv.
For example, quick-lru is a completely unrelated module that implements the Map API.
const Keyv = require('@keyvhq/core')
const QuickLRU = require('quick-lru')
const lru = new QuickLRU({ maxSize: 1000 })
const keyv = new Keyv({ store: lru })You should also set a namespace for your module so you can safely call .clear() without clearing unrelated app data.
All the adapters
The official storage adapters are covered by over 150 integration tests to guarantee consistent behaviour. They are lightweight, efficient wrappers over the DB clients making use of indexes and native TTLs where available.
- @keyvhq/file – File storage adapter for Keyv.
- @keyvhq/mongo – MongoDB storage adapter for Keyv.
- @keyvhq/mysql – MySQL/MariaDB storage adapter for Keyv.
- @keyvhq/postgres – PostgreSQL storage adapter for Keyv.
- @keyvhq/redis – Redis storage adapter for Keyv.
- @keyvhq/sqlite – SQLite storage adapter for Keyv.
Decorators
- @keyvhq/compress – Adds compression bindings for your Keyv instance.
- @keyvhq/memoize – Memoize any function using Keyv as storage backend.
- @keyvhq/multi – Manages local and remote keyv stores as one.
- @keyvhq/offline – Adds offline capabilities for your keyv instance.
- @keyvhq/stats – Collects metrics for a Keyv instance over time.
Community
You can also use third-party storage adapters or build your own. Keyv will wrap these storage adapters in TTL functionality and handle complex types internally.
- keyv-anyredis - Support for Redis clusters and alternative Redis clients.
- keyv-dynamodb - DynamoDB storage adapter for Keyv.
- keyv-file - File system storage adapter for Keyv.
- keyv-firestore – Firebase Cloud Firestore adapter for Keyv.
- keyv-lru – An in-memory LRU back-end for Keyv.
- keyv-memcache - Memcache storage adapter for Keyv.
- keyv-mssql - Microsoft SQL Server adapter for Keyv.
- keyv-s3 - Amazon S3 storage adapter for Keyv.
- quick-lru - Simple "Least Recently Used" (LRU) cache.
API
constructor([options])
Returns a new Keyv instance.
options
Type: Object
The options object is also passed through to the storage adapter. Check your storage adapter docs for any extra options.
namespace
Type: String
Default: undefined
Namespace for the current instance.
ttl
Type: Number
Default: undefined
Default TTL in milliseconds. Can be overridden by specifying a TTL on .set().
serialize
Type: Function
Default: JSONB.stringify
A custom serialization function.
deserialize
Type: Function
Default: JSONB.parse
A custom deserialization function.
store
Type: Storage adapter instance
Default: new Map()
The storage adapter instance to be used by Keyv.
raw
Type: Boolean
Default: false
If set to true the raw DB object Keyv stores internally will be returned instead of just the value.
This contains the TTL timestamp.
.set(key, value, [ttl])
Set a value.
By default keys are persistent. You can set an expiry TTL in milliseconds.
Returns a promise which resolves to true.
.get(key, [options])
Returns a promise which resolves to the retrieved value.
.has(key)
Returns a promise which resolves to a boolean, indicating existence of a key.
.delete(key)
Deletes an entry.
Returns a promise which resolves to true if the key existed, false if not.
.clear()
Delete all entries in the current namespace.
Returns a promise which is resolved when the entries have been cleared.
When calling clear(), on a keyv instance with no namespace, all keys are cleared.
.iterator()
Returns an async iterator, which iterates over all the key-value pairs in the namespace. When called without a namespace, it iterates over all entries in the database.
The iterator shouldn't be used in environments where performance is key, or there are more than 1000 entries in the database, use an ORM or a native driver if you need to iterate over all entries.
