README

cacache CI crates.io

A high-performance, concurrent, content-addressable disk cache, optimized for async APIs.

Example

use cacache;
use async_attributes;

#[async_attributes::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), cacache::Error> {
    let dir = String::from("./my-cache");

    // Write some data!
    cacache::write(&dir, "key", b"my-async-data").await?;

    // Get the data back!
    let data = cacache::read(&dir, "key").await?;
    assert_eq!(data, b"my-async-data");

    // Clean up the data!
    cacache::rm::all(&dir).await?;
}

Install

Using cargo-edit

$ cargo add cacache

Minimum supported Rust version is 1.43.0.

Features

  • First-class async support, using either async-std or tokio as its runtime. Sync APIs are available but secondary. You can also use sync APIs only and remove the async runtime dependency.
  • std::fs-style API
  • Extraction by key or by content address (shasum, etc)
  • Subresource Integrity web standard support
  • Multi-hash support - safely host sha1, sha512, etc, in a single cache
  • Automatic content deduplication
  • Atomic content writes even for large data
  • Fault tolerance (immune to corruption, partial writes, process races, etc)
  • Consistency guarantees on read and write (full data verification)
  • Lockless, high-concurrency cache access
  • Really helpful, contextual error messages
  • Large file support
  • Pretty darn fast
  • Arbitrary metadata storage
  • Cross-platform: Windows and case-(in)sensitive filesystem support
  • miette integration for detailed, helpful error reporting.
  • Punches nazis

async-std is the default async runtime. To use tokio instead, turn off default features and enable the tokio-runtime feature, like this:

[dependencies]
cacache = { version = "*", default-features = false, features = ["tokio-runtime", "mmap"] }

You can also remove async APIs altogether, including removing async runtime dependency:

[dependencies]
cacache = { version = "*", default-features = false, features = ["mmap"] }

Experimental support for symlinking to existing files is provided via the "link_to" feature.
