NAME

CHI::CacheObject - Contains information about cache entries

VERSION

version 0.59

SYNOPSIS

my $object = $cache->get_object($key);

my $key        = $object->key();
my $value      = $object->value();
my $expires_at = $object->expires_at();
my $created_at = $object->created_at();

if ($object->is_expired()) { ... }

DESCRIPTION

The CHI method returns this object if the key exists. The object will be returned even if the entry has expired, as long as it has not been removed.

There is currently no public API for creating one of these objects directly.

METHODS

All methods are read-only. The get_* methods are provided for backward compatibility with Cache::Cache's Cache::Object.

key

The key.

value

The value.

expires_at

get_expires_at

Epoch time at which item expires.

created_at

get_created_at

Epoch time at which item was last written to.

is_expired

Returns boolean indicating whether item has expired. This may be probabilistically determined if an "expires_variance" was used.
