Introduction

Caching plays a crucial role in optimizing the performance of web applications by storing frequently accessed data in a fast data store.

Sails Stash offers a streamlined API across multiple cache backends like Redis, empowering you to harness their lightning-fast data retrieval capabilities and speed up your Sails web application.

Installation

To get started with Sails Stash, simply run the following command in your Sails applications

npm i sails-stash

Zero Configuration

As of v0.1.0, Sails Stash works out of the box with no configuration required. It uses an in-memory store by default, making it perfect for getting started quickly without needing to set up Redis or any other cache backend.

await sails.cache.fetch(
  'posts',
  async function () {
    return await Post.find()
  },
  6000
)

INFO

You can optionally configure Redis or other cache stores for any environment. The memory store is just the default to help you get started quickly.

Supported stores

Sails Stash supports the following cache backends:

• Memory (default) - Zero-config in-memory caching
• Redis - Persistent, distributed caching
• Memcached coming soon

You can configure any of these stores for development or production. Follow the instructions to setup Redis for persistent caching in your Sails apps.
