Cache::Null(3pm)

✨ Cache::Null ✨

okay bestie, welcome to Cache::Null — the null implementation of the Cache interface 💖 this is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the perl universe (3pm gang, we ride at dawn 🌅).

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Cache::Null — the null implementation of the Cache interface. yes it's giving "cache" but make it nothing 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

use Cache::Null;

my $cache = Cache::Null->new();

and like, for the actual usage synopsis, go peek at Cache okay? she has the full tea ☕

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: the Cache::Null class implements the Cache interface, but it does not actually persist data. not even a little. not even one crumb 🍪💀

which is lowkey iconic when you're developing and debugging a system and you just want to easily turn off caching — flip it to null and boom, cache is gone, no drama ✨

as a result, all calls return results indicating that there is no data stored. that's it. that's the whole bit. no cap 🙈

---

💖 CONSTRUCTOR 💖

my $cache = Cache::Null->new( %options )

the constructor takes cache properties as named arguments, for example:

my $cache = Cache::Null->new( default_expires => '600 sec' );

see 'PROPERTIES' below, and in the Cache documentation, for a list of all the available properties you can set 🫶

but bestie, real talk: it should be noted that all the existing properties — like default_expires — have no effect in a Null cache. zero. nada. they're just there being pretty 🌈

---

👑 METHODS 👑

see 'Cache' for the API documentation, mwah 💋
