About

The Metalama.Patterns.Caching.Aspects package provides an aspect-oriented API that enables caching of method results as a function of their arguments. It also allows for cache item invalidation, cache key construction, and dependency management. This API is built on the Metalama aspect framework. The caching abstractions and functionalities are defined in the Metalama.Patterns.Caching family of packages.

Key Features

  • Caching the return value of a method as a function of its argument.
  • Automatic invalidation of a cached method result when an update method is executed.
  • Dependency collection during the execution of the cached method, and automatic addition of dependencies to the cache item.
  • Automatic and reliable generation of cache keys.

Main Types

  • CacheAttribute is the primary caching aspect.
  • InvalidateCacheAttribute is an aspect to be applied to the Update method, which causes the Get method to be removed from the cache for matching arguments.
  • CacheKeyAttribute is an aspect to be applied to the fields or properties of a type that can be used as a parameter for a cached method. It designates the fields and properties that should be a part of the cache key.

Additional Documentation

  • Metalama.Patterns.Caching is the object-oriented API for which the current package provides aspects.
  • Metalama.Patterns.Memoization offers a simple, high-performance alternative to caching, working only with read-only properties and parameterless methods.

AI Coding Assistants

If you use an AI coding assistant such as Claude Code, install the Metalama AI Skills plugin. It gives the assistant access to the Metalama conceptual documentation, the API reference, and code samples.
