VIEApps.Enyim.Caching

The memcached client library on .NET 5 & .NET Standard 2.0:

• 100% compatible with EnyimMemcached 2.x
• Fully async (EnyimMemcached still blocks threads while reading from sockets/response)
• Multiple nodes supported with Ketama for better distribution
• Object serialization by various transcoders: Json.NET Bson, Protocol Buffers, MessagePack
• Ready with .NET Core 2.x+/.NET Framework 4.6.1+ with more useful methods (Set, Add, Replace, Refresh, Exists)

NuGet

Information

• Migrated from the fork EnyimMemcachedCore (.NET Core 2.0)
• Reference from the original EnyimMemcached (.NET Framework 3.5)

Usage of ASP.NET Core 2.x+ apps

• Add services.AddMemcached(...) and app.UseMemcached() in Startup.cs
• Add IMemcachedClient or IDistributedCache into constructor (using dependency injection)

Configure (by the appsettings.json file) without authentication

{
	"Memcached": {
		"Servers": [
		{
			"Address": "192.168.0.2",
			"Port": 11211
		},
		{
			"Address": "192.168.0.3",
			"Port": 11211
		}],
		"SocketPool": {
			"MinPoolSize": 10,
			"MaxPoolSize": 100,
			"DeadTimeout": "00:01:00",
			"ConnectionTimeout": "00:00:05",
			"ReceiveTimeout": "00:00:01"
		}
	}
}

		},
		{
			"Address": "192.168.0.3",

			"Parameters": {

			}
		}
	}
}

Startup.cs

public class Startup
{
	public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
	{
		// ....
		services.AddMemcached(options => Configuration.GetSection("Memcached").Bind(options));
	}
	
	public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
	{ 
		// ....
		app.UseMemcached();
	}
}

Use IMemcachedClient interface

public class TabNavService
{
	ITabNavRepository _tabNavRepository;
	IMemcachedClient _cache;

	public TabNavService(ITabNavRepository tabNavRepository, IMemcachedClient cache)
	{
		_tabNavRepository = tabNavRepository;
		_cache = cache;
	}

	public async Task<IEnumerable<TabNav>> GetAllAsync()
	{
		var cacheKey = "aboutus_tabnavs_all";
		var result = await _cache.GetAsync<IEnumerable<TabNav>>(cacheKey);
		if (result == null)
		{
			var tabNavs = await _tabNavRepository.GetAll();
			await _cache.SetAsync(cacheKey, tabNavs, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30));
			return tabNavs;
		}
		else
			return result;
	}
}

Use IDistributedCache interface

public class CreativeService
{
	ICreativeRepository _creativeRepository;
	IDistributedCache _cache;

	public CreativeService(ICreativeRepository creativeRepository, IDistributedCache cache)
	{
		_creativeRepository = creativeRepository;
		_cache = cache;
	}

	public async Task<IList<CreativeDTO>> GetCreativesAsync(string unitName)
	{
		var cacheKey = $"creatives_{unitName}";
		IList<CreativeDTO> creatives = null;

		var creativesBytes = await _cache.GetAsync(cacheKey);
		var creativesJson = creativesBytes != null ? System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(creativesBytes) : null;
		if (creativesJson == null)
		{
			creatives = await _creativeRepository.GetCreatives(unitName).ProjectTo<CreativeDTO>().ToListAsync();
			var json = creatives != null && creatives.Count() > 0 ? JsonConvert.SerializeObject(creatives) : string.Empty;
			creativesBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
			await _cache.SetAsync(cacheKey, creativesBytes, new DistributedCacheEntryOptions().SetSlidingExpiration(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30)));
		}
		else
			creatives = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<CreativeDTO>>(creativesJson);

		return creatives;
	}
}

Usage of .NET Core 2.x+/.NET Framework 4.6.1+ standalone apps

Configure (by the app.config/web.config) without authentication

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
	<configSections>

	MemcachedClient _cache;

	public CreativeService()
	{
		_cache = new MemcachedClient(ConfigurationManager.GetSection("memcached") as MemcachedClientConfigurationSectionHandler);
	}

	public async Task<IList<CreativeDTO>> GetCreativesAsync(string unitName)
	{
		return await _cache.GetAsync<IList<CreativeDTO>>($"creatives_{unitName}");
	}
