@spec cache(cache_key(), cache_value()) :: :ok

Synchronous call to cache a value at the provided key. Any key that can be used with ETS can be used, and will be evaluated using ==.

Returns a specification to start this module under a supervisor.

See Supervisor.

@spec clear() :: :ok

Asynchronous clears all values in the cache.

@spec delete(cache_key()) :: :ok

Asynchronously deletes a key from the cache, cancelling any pending TTL timer.

@spec init(integer()) :: {:ok, t()}

Callback implementation for GenServer.init/1.

@spec read(cache_key()) :: cache_value() | :not_found

Sychronously reads the cache for the provided key. If no value is found, returns :not_found .

Sychronously reads the cache for the provided key. If no value is found, invokes default_fn and caches the result. Note: in order to prevent congestion of the RequestCache process, default_fn is invoked in the context of the caller process.

@spec start_link(integer()) :: GenServer.on_start()

Starts a RequestCache process linked to the current process. See GenServer.start_link/2 for details.

By default, every item in the cache lives for 6 hours.
