map-age-cleaner

Automatically cleanup expired items in a Map

Install

$ npm install map-age-cleaner

Usage

import mapAgeCleaner from 'map-age-cleaner';

const map = new Map([
	['unicorn', {data: '🦄', maxAge: Date.now() + 1000}]
]);

mapAgeCleaner(map);

map.has('unicorn');
//=> true

// Wait for 1 second...
