First, it includes a `wrap` function that lets you wrap any function in cache.
(Note, this was inspired by [node-caching](https://github.com/mape/node-caching).)
This is probably the feature you're looking for. As an example, where you might have to do this
```javascript
function get_cached_user(id, cb) {
memory_cache.get(id, function (err, result) {
if (err) { return cb(err); }
if (result) {
return cb(null, result);
}
get_user(id, function (err, result) {
if (err) { return cb(err); }
memory_cache.set(id, result);
cb(null, result);
});
});
}
```
... you can instead use the `wrap` function:
```javascript
function get_cached_user(id, cb) {
memory_cache.wrap(id, function (cache_callback) {
get_user(id, cache_callback);
}, cb);
}
get_cached_user(user_id, function (err, user) {
// First time fetches the user from the (fake) database:
console.log(user);
get_cached_user(user_id, function (err, user) {
// Second time fetches from cache.
console.log(user);
});
});
```
Second, node-cache-manager features a built-in memory cache (using [node-lru-cache](https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache)),
with the standard functions you'd expect in most caches:

Here's a very basic example of how you could use this in an Express app:
```javascript
function respond(res, err, data) {
if (err) {
res.json(500, err);
} else {
res.json(200, data);
}
}
app.get('/foo/bar', function(req, res) {

memory_cache.wrap(cache_key, function(cache_cb) {
DB.find(req.query, cache_cb);
}, function(err, result) {
respond(res, err, result);
});
