Asp.Net Core: Use memory cache outside controller

Question

In ASP.NET Core its very easy to access your memory cache from a controller

In your startup you add:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection         


        

Answer 1

There is another very flexible and easy way to do it is using System.Runtime.Caching/MemoryCache

System.Runtime.Caching/MemoryCache:
This is pretty much the same as the old day's ASP.Net MVC's HttpRuntime.Cache. You can use it on ASP.Net CORE without any dependency injection, in any class you want to. This is how to use it:

// First install 'System.Runtime.Caching' (NuGet package)

// Add a using
using System.Runtime.Caching;

// To get a value
var myString = MemoryCache.Default["itemCacheKey"];

// To store a value
MemoryCache.Default["itemCacheKey"] = myString;
