Types

type Timap

type Timap interface {
	Load(key interface{}) (value interface{}, ok bool)
	Store(key, value interface{}, lifeTime ...time.Duration)
	Delete(key interface{})
	Range(f func(key, value interface{}) bool)
}

Timap represents "time map", it is a wrapper over sync.Map that allows to store key-value pairs for certain period of time. Default duration can be defined for all key-value pairs in the constructor func, but it is also possible to define custom life time for each pair separately. Watcher will create a goroutine for every temporrary pair. Try not to use it with huge maps.

func New

func New(lifeTime time.Duration) Timap

New is a Timap constructor func. If lifeTime == 0 key-value pairs will not have any time limits (by default), values still can be deleted by calling Delete().
