Overwrite async(key, asyncFunc, policy?)

Overwrites the current key with the result of a function. Useful when the function used in this function is not the same as the get function e.g. a write to the database.

This does not have retry protection.

Note: if the function for your overwrite does not match your get you may experience issues if you do not save the same type of object data into the key.

key string

The key to overwrite.

asyncFunc () => R

An async function that will return a value. This function may throw an error if required.

policy? GorgonPolicyInput

see policies

Optionally pass in a Date, a number of ms or a GorgonPolicy to set an expiry for your cached object. If nothing is passed the result will be cached indefinitely.

return Promise<R>

The function will return the result of the supplied async function.

Example

Gorgon.overwrite(`todo/${id}`, async () => {
  return fetch(`https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/${id}?setCompleted=true`)
    .then(response => response.json());
}, 60 * 1000); // 1 minute
