NAME

6       CHI::Driver::RawMemory - In-process memory cache that stores direct
7       references

VERSION

SYNOPSIS

13           use CHI;
14
15           my $hash = {};
16           my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'RawMemory', datastore => $hash );
17
18           my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'RawMemory', global => 1 );
19
20           my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'RawMemory', global => 0 );
21

DESCRIPTION

23       This is a subclass of CHI::Driver::Memory that stores references to
24       data structures directly instead of serializing / deserializing.  This
25       makes the cache faster at getting and setting complex data structures,
26       but unlike most drivers, modifications to the original data structure
27       will affect the data structure stored in the cache, and vice versa.
28       e.g.
29
30           my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'Memory', global => 1 );
31           my $lst = ['foo'];
32           $cache->set('key' => $lst);   # serializes $lst before storing
33           $cache->get('key');   # returns ['foo']
34           $lst->[0] = 'bar';
35           $cache->get('key');   # returns ['foo']
36
37           my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'RawMemory', global => 1 );
38           my $lst = ['foo'];
39           $cache->set('key' => $lst);   # stores $lst directly
40           $cache->get('key');   # returns ['foo']
41           $lst->[0] = 'bar';
42           $cache->get('key');   # returns ['bar']!

CONSTRUCTOR OPTIONS

45       Same as CHI::Driver::Memory.

SIZE AWARENESS

48       For the purpose of size-awareness, all items count as size 1 for this
49       driver. (Because data structures are not serialized, there's no good
50       way to determine their size.)
51
52           # Keep a maximum of 10 items in cache
53           #
54           my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'RawMemory', datastore => {}, max_size => 10 );
