type ('a, 'b) t

The type of association tables (implemented using Hashtbl)

val find : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a -> 'b Lwt.t) -> 'a -> 'b Lwt.t

find cache get_from_db key returns the value associated to key in cache. If not present, it calls get_from_db to fetch the data from the database. get_from_db must be implemented both server and client sides. Several simultaneous call to find will result in a single call to get_from_db. Exceptions are not cached.

val do_cache : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b -> unit

do_cache cache key value adds the association from key to value in cache, or replaces it if not already present. Called from client side, it affects only client side cache. Called from server side, it will have effect both on the server cache (scope: request) and the client side cache.

val local_find : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b Lwt.t

Find a piece of data in local cache, without trying to fetch it from server. Raises Not_found instead. If the value is currently being retrieved, it waits for it to be ready before returning.

exception Not_ready
val find_if_ready : ('a, 'b) t -> 'a -> 'b

Find a piece of data in local cache, without trying to fetch it from server. Raises Not_found instead. If the value is currently being retrieved, it raises Not_ready.

val load : ('a, 'b) t -> ('a -> 'b Lwt.t) -> 'a -> 'b Lwt.t

Load (or reload) in cache the piece of data from server
