`ttl` documentation about node-lru-cache

[isaacs]

Yes. has() checks for presence without updating recency. (I think that's maybe configurable iirc?)

[isaacs]

Yeah, could be documented better.

In practice, 0 means "no TTL", and is the default.

Via ttl documentation - https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache?tab=readme-ov-file#ttl:

Max time to live for items before they are considered stale.

If 0 is the default value, then does that mean whatever I store in the cache, will the item be considered as stale?

[isaacs]

Yes, zero is the default, which means (on a single item, or the cache as a whole) "do not do track TTL", not "go stale immediately".

It can be any non-negative integer, not just positive, that's a inaccuracy in the docs.

Awesome! @isaacs One last question - and if you dont get to it, its fine

If my configuration is only { max: 100 }, then would has(key) only be an existence look up? Since ttl would be defaulted to 0

I just want to check if a key is in the cache and with no other side effects
