I am using .net core api (2.1) with aws redis cache. I don't see a way to set expiration to the IDistributedCache.SetAsync. How is it possible?
My code segment is below:
// Startup.cs
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDistributedRedisCache(options =>
{
var redisCacheUrl = Configuration["RedisCacheUrl"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(redisCacheUrl))
{
options.Configuration = redisCacheUrl;
}
});
}
//Set & GetCache
public async Task<R> GetInsights<R>(string cacheKey, IDistributedCache _distributedCache)
{
var encodedResult = await _distributedCache.GetStringAsync(cacheKey);
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(encodedResult))
{
var cacheValue = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<R>(encodedResult);
return cacheValue;
}
var result = GetResults<R>(); //Call to resource access
var encodedResult = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(result);
await _distributedCache.SetAsync(cacheKey, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(encodedResult)); //Duration?
return result;
}
How long the cache is available? How can I set an expiration time? If that is not possible, how can I remove the cache?
It's in the options
param. You pass an instance of DistributedCacheEntryOptions
, which has various properties you can utilize to set the expire time. For example:
await _distributedCache.SetAsync(cacheKey, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(encodedResult), new DistributedCacheEntryOptions
{
AbsoluteExpirationRelativeToNow = TimeSpan.FromHours(1)
});
