Putting data into cache

This API request places the object into Backendless cache and maps it to the specified key. If the timeToLive argument is not set, the object will expire from cache in 2 hours from the time when it is put in cache.

Backendless.Cache.put(key, obj, timeToLive)
 .then( function( result ) {
 })
 .catch( function( error ) {
 });

where:

Argument	Description
key	key assigned to the object to identify it in cache. The key is used to retrieve the object from cache or to check if the cache still contains the object.
obj	object to place into cache.
timeToLive	numeric value (in seconds) indicating how long the object must stay in cache before it is expires. When an object expires, Backendless automatically removes it from cache. The default value is 7200 seconds.

Example

var order = // retrieving an object is out of scope for the example

var successCallback = function( response ) {
  console.log( "object has been put into cache" );
};

var failureCallback = function( fault ) {
  console.log( "error - " + fault.message );
};

Backendless.Cache.put( "firstorder", order )
 .then( successCallback )
 .catch( failureCallback );

Codeless Reference

where:

Argument	Description
key name	Key assigned to the object to identify it in cache. The key is used to retrieve the object from cache or to check if the cache still contains the object.
data	Value to place into cache, it can be a string, number, or any other valid JSON type.
time to live (in seconds)	Numeric value (in seconds) indicating how long the object must stay in cache before it expires. When an object expires, Backendless automatically removes it from cache. The default value is 7200 seconds.

This operation does not return a value.

The example below adds a new key-value pair into cache that will expire in 300 seconds.

The result of this operation will look as shown below after the Codeless logic runs:
