Basic Cache Facade for generic caching purposes with StackExchange.Redis implementation

What is this

This library includes very simple form of basic caching operations such as get, set, delete.

By using this library you can add return value of a function to any implemented caching service.

For the sake of simplicity I only implemented StackExchange.Redis library as a Cache Service. But any other caching infrastructure can be used by just implementing ICacheService interface.

How to use

I simply created some test cases for usage. You can find usage in test files. I explain simple usage below also.

Initial Registrations

First you can create an application cache library like so:

var binarySerializer = new ProtobufBinarySerializer();
var cacheProvider = new BasicCacheProvider(new Dictionary<int, ICacheService>()
{
	{1, new StackExchangeRedisService("localhost:6379") },
	{2, new StackExchangeRedisService("localhost:6380") }
}, binarySerializer);

First dictionary defines services to be concerned. Their first parameters are identifiers of services. And second parameter is given binary serializer for internal serialize/deserialize operations. cacheProvider object most of the time is singleton per application lifestyle.

Execute Function / Set&Get

Then for caching a function return value, you can call ExecuteCached method. By doing this, you both calling function and caching it with given key:

var result = cacheProvider.ExecuteCached(new CacheKey("SomeCacheKey"), 
	() => Guid.NewGuid(), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

Get Only

For Get purpose there is also Get function with type declaration:

var result = cacheProvider.Get<Guid>(new CacheKey("SomeCacheKey"));

Delete

For deleting something from cache you can use ExecuteCached with CacheRule parameter:

cacheProvider.ExecuteCached(new CacheKey("SomeCacheKey"), 
	() => Guid.NewGuid(), CacheRule.Delete());

Bypass and Re-Execute Function Before Timeout Happens

Sometimes you need to re-execute same function and re-set cache value for same key. In this case we can use ExecuteCached like this:

var result = cacheProvider.ExecuteCached(new CacheKey("SomeCacheKey"), 
	() => Guid.NewGuid(), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), true);  

Fourth parameter is bypassing the cache and executing given function, then adding it to the cache again.

Explicitly using services

Since this is a basic library, I sometimes need to use the service under the hood. So I can call these services like this:

var cacheServices = cacheProvider.GetServices();

This operation returns IEnumerable<ICacheService> typed object.

Bulk Delete

You can bulk delete keys from each service like this:

foreach(var svc in cacheProvider.GetServices())
{
  svc.ClearCache(new CacheClearQuery(pattern: "SomeRepository::*"));
}

In StackExchangeRedisService implementation, I use Scan and Delete each key.

Using Real Client in code

If you want more functions than this facade library, then you can use real implementation that works under the hood. For example, StackExchange.Redis library ConnectionMultiplexer is working under the StackExchangeRedisService implementation. So when you need ConnectionMultiplexer actually, you can use it like this:

var seRedisSvc = cacheProvider.GetServices()
    .First(svc => 
		svc is CacheServiceBase<ConnectionMultiplexer>) as CacheServiceBase<ConnectionMultiplexer>;
seRedisSvc.CacheEndpoint.GetDatabase().Ping();

Here, ICacheService implementation StackExchangeRedisService is also concrete class of CacheServiceBase. This base class contains CacheEndpoint property as generic variable (in this case ConnectionMultiplexer).
