go-structr

A performant struct caching library with automated indexing by arbitrary combinations of fields, including support for negative results (errors!). An example use case is in database lookups.

Some example code of how you can use go-structr in your application:

type Cached struct {
    Username    string
    Domain      string
    URL         string
    CountryCode int
}

var c structr.Cache[*Cached]

c.Init(structr.Config[*Cached]{

    // Fields this cached struct type
    // will be indexed and stored under.
    Indices: []structr.IndexConfig{
        {Fields: "Username,Domain", AllowZero: true},
        {Fields: "URL"},
        {Fields: "CountryCode", Multiple: true},
    },

    // Maximum LRU cache size before
    // new entries cause evictions.
    MaxSize: 1000,

    // User provided value copy function to
    // reduce need for reflection + ensure
    // concurrency safety for returned values.
    CopyValue: func(c *Cached) *Cached {
        c2 := new(Cached)
        *c2 = *c
        return c2
    },

    // User defined invalidation hook.
    Invalidate: func(c *Cached) {
        log.Println("invalidated:", c)
    },
})

var url string

// Load value from cache, with callback function to hydrate
// cache if value cannot be found under index name with key.
// Negative (error) results are also cached, with user definable
// errors to ignore from caching (e.g. context deadline errs).
value, err := c.LoadOne("URL", func() (*Cached, error) {
    return dbType.SelectByURL(url)
}, url)
if err != nil {
    return nil, err
}

// Store value in cache, only if provided callback
// function returns without error. Passes value through
// invalidation hook regardless of error return value.
//
// On success value will be automatically added to and
// accessible under all initially configured indices.
if err := c.Store(value, func() error {
    return dbType.Insert(value)
}); err != nil {
    return nil, err
}

// Invalidate all cached results stored under
// provided index name with give field value(s).
c.Invalidate("CountryCode", 42)

This is a core underpinning of GoToSocial's performance.
