NAME

   Mojo::Cache::Role::GetDefault - Default values in get

STATUS

SYNOPSIS

     my $cache = Mojo::Cache->new->with_roles('+GetDefault');

     # set 'abc' for $key in the cache if $key does not exist in the cache.
     # 'abc' will also be the return value
     my $value = $cache->get($key, 'abc');

     # sub is called and passed $key if $key does not exist in the cache.
     # Return value is set in cache for $key and returned by get.
     # $key is also available as the first argument
     my $value = $cache->get($key, sub { "default value for key $_" });

     # use get normally without any default value like in Mojo::Cache
     my $value = $cache->get($key);

     # set a default for all gets.
     # this default will be overridden by any default passed to get.
     $cache = $cache->default('abc');
     $cache = $cache->default(sub { ... });

DESCRIPTION

   Mojo::Cache::Role::GetDefault allows Mojo::Cache to set and return
   default in "get" when a key does not exist.

ATTRIBUTES

default

     my $default = $cache->default;
     $cache      = $cache->default('abc');

     # or use a sub that is passed the key as $_ and as the first argument
     $cache = $cache->default(sub { "default value for key $_" });
     $cache = $cache->default(sub { "default value for key $_[0]" });

   The default value that is set and returned by "get" if a key does not
   exist in the cache. "default" may be a static value or a subroutine
   that returns a value. The key is available to the subroutine as $_ and
   as the first argument.

   You may clear "default" with "clear_default".

   "default" will be overridden by any default passed to "get".

METHODS

get

   get($key, [$default])

     # set 'abc' for $key in the cache if $key does not exist in the cache.
     # 'abc' will also be the return value
     my $value = $cache->get($key, 'abc');

     # sub is called and passed $key if $key does not exist in the cache.
     # Return value is set in cache for $key and returned by get.
     # $key is also available as the first argument
     my $value = $cache->get($key, sub { "default value for $_" });

     # use get normally without any default value like in Mojo::Cache
     my $value = $cache->get($key);

   "get" works like "get" in Mojo::Cache, but allows an optional default
   value to be set and returned if the key does not exist in the cache.
   $default may be a static value or a subroutine that returns a value.
   The key is available to the subroutine as $_ and as the first argument.

   Any $default passed to "get" will override any default set in
   "default".

   Providing no $default makes "get" behave exactly like "get" in
   Mojo::Cache.

clear_default

     $cache = $cache->clear_default;

   Clears any existing default set by "default".

exists

     if ($cache->exists($key)) {
       ...
     }

   Returns true if a cached value exists for the provided key, false
   otherwise.

   "exists" is composed from Mojo::Cache::Role::Exists. See that module
   for more information.
