Easy.Cache

Easy.Cache is a high-performance, lightweight, and flexible caching library for .NET applications. It simplifies cache management by providing a unified API for In-Memory, Distributed (Redis), and Multi-Layer (Hybrid) caching strategies.

It is designed with Enterprise Best Practices in mind, offering full async/await support with CancellationToken, strong typing, and modular architecture.

Features

** Multi-Layer Caching:** Automatically syncs Local Memory Cache (L1) with Distributed Redis Cache (L2) for ultra-fast reads and data consistency.
** Async & Cancellable:** Fully supports async/await and CancellationToken to prevent wasted resources on cancelled requests.
** Plug & Play:** Simple integration with .NET Dependency Injection (IServiceCollection).
** Modular Design:** Separated into Abstractions, Providers, and Serializers namespaces for cleaner architecture.
** Multi-Target:** Supports .NET 10, .NET 8, .NET 6, .NET Standard 2.0/2.1, and .NET Framework 4.7.2+.

Installation

Install via NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package Easy.Cache

Or via .NET CLI:

dotnet add package Easy.Cache

Usage

1. Service Registration (Program.cs)

using Easy.Cache; // Core Namespace

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Option A: In-Memory Cache (Single Server)
builder.Services.AddEasyCacheMemory();

// Option B: Redis Cache (Distributed)
builder.Services.AddEasyCacheRedis("localhost:6379,password=...");

// Option C: Multi-Layer Cache (Best of Both Worlds)
// Reads from Memory first (fast), falls back to Redis (reliable).
builder.Services.AddEasyCacheMultiLayer("localhost:6379,password=...");

var app = builder.Build();

2. Using CacheManager (Controller Example)

Inject CacheManager into your controllers or services.

using Easy.Cache;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;

[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class ProductsController : ControllerBase
{
    private readonly CacheManager _cache;

    public ProductsController(CacheManager cache)
    {
        _cache = cache;
    }

    [HttpGet("{id}")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> GetProduct(int id, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        string cacheKey = $"product:{id}";

        // 1. Try to get from cache
        var product = await _cache.GetAsync<Product>(cacheKey, cancellationToken);

        if (product != null)
        {
            return Ok(product); // Hit!
        }

        // 2. If not found, fetch from DB (Simulated)
        product = new Product { Id = id, Name = "Smartphone", Price = 999 };

        // 3. Set to cache
        // Absolute Expiration: 10 minutes (Removed after 10m)
        // Sliding Expiration: 2 minutes (Reset timer if accessed within 2m)
        await _cache.SetAsync(
            cacheKey, 
            product, 
            absoluteExpiration: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10), 
            slidingExpiration: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2), 
            cancellationToken: cancellationToken
        );

        return Ok(product);
    }
    
    [HttpDelete("{id}")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> RemoveProduct(int id, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        await _cache.RemoveAsync($"product:{id}", cancellationToken);
        return NoContent();
    }
}

Expiration Policies

Provider	Absolute Expiration	Sliding Expiration	Note
MemoryCache	✅ Supported	✅ Supported	Full support for both strategies.
Redis	✅ Supported	❌ Not Supported	Redis native "TTL" is used as Absolute Expiration.

Export to Sheets

Note: If absoluteExpiration and slidingExpiration are both null, the cache entry will remain indefinitely until manually removed or evicted by memory pressure.

Architecture

The library follows a clean separation of concerns:

Easy.Cache.Abstractions: Interfaces (ICacheProvider, ISerializer). Use this namespace if you are building libraries that depend on Easy.Cache.
Easy.Cache.Providers: Concrete implementations (RedisCacheProvider, MemoryCacheProvider, MultiLayerCacheProvider).
Easy.Cache.Serializers: Serialization logic (JsonCacheSerializer).
Easy.Cache: The main entry point (CacheManager, ServiceCollectionExtensions).
