fschaeffler / meteor-execution-cache

Meteor-Plugin: fschaeffler:execution-cache

Purpose

This plugin helps with caching per one single execution, where different threads should not have access to the same content. Imagine an export-functionality within an application. You first want to retrieve all data in one bulk and then do the actual data transformation. If your data in your database is normalized, you have references within your data. In order to retrieve such references only once, this cache can get used.

Data-Example:

Table: Users

ID	First Name	Last Name
1	Charlie	Root
2	Foo	Bar

Table: Content

ID	Content	UserID
1	This is some content	2
2	Another content	1
3	Some more content	1

Export: User Content

ID	Content	User First Name	User Last Name
1	This is some content	Foo	Bar
2	Another content	Charlie	Root
3	Some more content	Charlie	Root

For the export of User Content, we not only need the user's ID, but acutal values from the users-table.

Installation

In order to use this plugin with a Meteor-application, just install it as a package via meteor add fschaeffler:execution-cache.

package.js vs package.json

This package is a Meteor-package, which means the file package.js is getting used as entry point. However, for development-purposes, also NPM-dependencies and scripts are needed. Therefore, also a package.json is available.
