Overview

The idb-cache library is an innovative solution for those seeking to enhance their web applications' performance and security through a robust caching mechanism. Designed with modern web standards in mind, it utilizes IndexedDB for efficient data storage while providing encryption to keep sensitive information secure. This library is particularly appealing for developers looking to implement a secure and efficient caching layer that seamlessly integrates with the AsyncStorage interface.

By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Web Workers and AES-GCM encryption, idb-cache addresses common challenges associated with data handling in web applications. Its chunked storage system efficiently manages large datasets, making it a practical choice for applications dealing with substantial amounts of data.

Features

Web Worker: Offloads encryption and decryption tasks to keep the main thread responsive, enhancing user experience.
Chunking: Splits large datasets into manageable chunks, allowing for more efficient storage and retrieval.
Encryption: Uses AES-GCM combined with PBKDF2 key derivation to ensure data remains private and secure.
Garbage Collection: Automatically removes outdated cache entries, keeping storage optimized and clutter-free.
Task Processing: Utilizes parallelism and queue management to prevent crypto and CPU overload, ensuring smooth operation.
Integration Ready: Easily integrates with TanStack Query as an AsyncStorage persister, enhancing its versatility in various applications.
Advanced Technologies: Employs modern web technologies like Web Crypto API and Transferable objects for enhanced performance.
