Cache

The cache is initialized when the client is created or when a resource group is created. Only one instance of the cache is created and shared between the client and all resource groups upon there initialization. Any subsequent intializations will not create a new cache but reference the existing cache. A pointer reference to the initialized cache is stored in the client and each resource group. See singleton pattern here.

The following is a set of available methods for the cache used in the PokeGo client.

The cache can be cleared by calling the Clear() method:

// Main client example
client.Cache.Clear()

// Individual resource group example
resourceGroup.Cache.Clear()

The active status of the cache can be set by calling the setActive() method:

// Main client example
client.Cache.SetActive(false)

// Individual resource group example
resourceGroup.Cache.SetActive(false)

The active status of the cache can be checked by calling the GetActive() method:

// Main client example
client.Cache.GetActive()

// Individual resource group example
resourceGroup.Cache.GetActive()

The expiration time of the cache can be set by calling the SetExpiration() method:

// Main client example
client.Cache.SetExpiration(48 * time.Hour)

// Individual resource group example
resourceGroup.Cache.SetExpiration(48 * time.Hour)

The expiration time of the cache can be checked by calling the GetExpiration() method:

// Main client example
client.Cache.GetExpiration()

// Individual resource group example
resourceGroup.Cache.GetExpiration()
