Kache is a lightweight Kotlin Multiplatform caching library that supports both
in-memory and persistent caches and supports different eviction strategies (LRU, FIFO, MRU, FILO).

***Supported platforms:***

* **JVM** (and **Android**)
* **JS** (Browser does not support persistent cache)
* **macOS** (macosX64, macosArm64)
* **iOS** (iosArm64, iosX64, iosSimulatorArm64)
* **watchOS** (watchosArm32, watchosArm64, watchosX64, watchosDeviceArm64, watchosSimulatorArm64)
* **tvOS** (tvosArm64, tvosX64, tvosSimulatorArm64)
* **Linux** (linuxX64, linuxArm64)
* **Windows** (mingwX64)
* **androidNative** (androidNativeArm32, androidNativeArm64, androidNativeX86, androidNativeX64): only supported by in-memory cache for now

## Why use Kache?

* **Kotlin Multiplatform.** Use the same code for Android, iOS, and other platforms.
* **In-memory and persistent caches.** Use the same API for both in-memory and persistent caches.
* **Different eviction strategies.** Use any common strategy: LRU, FIFO, MRU, or FILO.
* **Coroutine-friendly.** Get rid of blocking implementations.
* **Simple and modern API** that helps you do almost whatever you want using a single call.

## Setup (Gradle)

Kotlin DSL:

```kotlin
repositories {
    mavenCentral()

// Add only if you're using snapshot version
    maven("https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/")
}

dependencies {
    // For in-memory cache
    implementation("com.mayakapps.kache:kache:<version>")

// For persistent cache
    implementation("com.mayakapps.kache:file-kache:<version>")
}
```

Groovy DSL:

```groovy
repositories {
    mavenCentral()

// Add only if you're using snapshot version
    maven { url "https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }
}

dependencies {
    // For in-memory cache
    implementation "com.mayakapps.kache:kache:<version>"

// For persistent cache
    implementation "com.mayakapps.kache:file-kache:<version>"
}
```

Don't forget to replace `<version>` with the latest found on the badges above or the desired version.

## Usage

You can create your cache using the following builder DSL, then you can use the usual operators of get, put, and remove
and their different implementations.

Sample Code (`Kache`):

```kotlin
// Could be InMemoryKache
val cache = Kache<String, ByteArray>(maxSize = 5 * 1024 * 1024) {  // 5 MB
    // Other optional configurations
    strategy = KacheStrategy.LRU
    // ...
}

// ...

val newValue = cache.put(uniqueKey) {
    try {
        // Some CPU-intensive process - Returning a not null value means success
    } catch (ex: Throwable) {
        // Handle exception
        null // returning null means creating the value has failed - The value (null) will not be cached
    }
}

// ...

val cachedValue = cache.get(uniqueKey)
```

Sample Code (`FileKache`):

```kotlin
// Could be OkioFileKache or JavaFileKache
val cache = FileKache(directory = "cache", maxSize = 10 * 1024 * 1024) {
    // Other optional configurations
    strategy = KacheStrategy.MRU
    // ...
}

// ...

try {
    val imageData = cache.getOrPut(uniqueKey) { cacheFilename ->
        try {
            // downloadFromInternet(imageUrl, cacheFilename)
            true // returning true means caching has succeeded - The file will be kept
        } catch (ex: IOException) {
            // Handle exception
            false // returning false means caching has failed - The file will be deleted
        }
    }
} finally {
    cache.close()
}
```
