MemJS is a pure Node.js client library for using memcache, in particular, the MemCachier service. It uses the binary protocol and support SASL authentication.

Requirements

Supported Node.js versions

MemJS is tested to work with version 0.10 or higher of Node.js.

Installation

MemJS is available from the npm registry:

$ npm install memjs

To install from git:

$ git clone git://github.com/alevy/memjs.git
$ cd memjs
$ npm link

MemJS was designed for the MemCachier memcache service but will work with any memcache server that speaks the binary protocol. Many software repositories have a version of memcacached available for installation:

Ubuntu

$ apt-get install memcached

OS X

$ brew install memcached

Configuration

MemJS understands the following environment variables:

• MEMCACHIER_SERVERS - used to determine which servers to connect to. Should be a comma separated list of [hostname:port].
• MEMCACHIER_USERNAME - if present with MEMCACHIER_PASSWORD, MemJS will try to authenticated to the server using SASL.
• MEMCACHIER_PASSWORD - if present with MEMCACHIER_USERNAME, MemJS will try to authenticated to the server using SASL.
• MEMCACHE_USERNAME - used if MEMCACHIER_USERNAME is not present
• MEMCACHE_PASSWORD - used if MEMCACHIER_PASSWORD is not present

Environment variables are only used as a fallback for explicit parameters.

Usage

You can start using MemJS immediately from the node console:

$ const memjs = require('memjs')
$ const client = memjs.Client.create()
$ client.get('hello', function(err, val) { console.log(val); })

If callbacks are not specified, the command calls return promises.

Settings Values

client.set('hello', 'world', {expires:600}, function(err, val) {

});

The set(key, val, options, callback) function accepts the following parameters.

• key: key to set
• val: value to set
• options: an object of options. Currently supports only the key expires, which is a time interval, in seconds, after which memcached will expire the object
• callback: a callback invoked after the value is set
  • err : error
  • val : value retrieved

Getting Values

client.get('hello', function(err, val) {

});

The get(key, callback) function accepts the following parameters.

Note that values are always returned as Buffers, regardless of whether a Buffer or String was passed to set.

• key: key to retrieve
• callback: a callback invoked after the value is retrieved
  • err : error
  • val : value retrieved as a Buffer

Contributing

The best way to contribute to the project is by reporting bugs and testing unpublished versions. If you have a staging or development app, the easiest way to do this is using the git repository as your memjs package dependency---in package.json:

{
  "name": "MyAppName",
  ...
  "dependencies": {
    ...
    "memjs": "git://github.com/alevy/memjs.git#master"
    ...
  }
}

If you find a bug, please report as an issue. If you fix it, please don't hesitate to send a pull request on GitHub or via e-mail.

Feature suggestions are also welcome! These includes suggestions about syntax and interface design.

Finally, a great way to contribute is to implement a feature that's missing and send a pull request. The list below contains some planned features that have not been addressed yet. You can also implement a feature not a list if you think it would be good.

TODOS

• Support flags
• Support multi commands
• Support CAS
• Consistent hashing for keys and/or pluggable hashing algorithm
