## What it is
angular-cache is a JavaScript library that replaces Angular 1's $cacheFactory with a more feature-rich caching solution supporting localStorage/sessionStorage, time-based expiration, LRU eviction, and expiration callbacks. It integrates with $http for caching API responses.

## Use cases
- cache HTTP responses in an Angular 1 app
- persist cache items to localStorage across page refreshes
- expire cached items after a time-to-live
- limit cache size with LRU eviction
- run a callback when a cached item expires

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy Angular 1 application needing richer caching than $cacheFactory
- you need time-based expiration or persistent browser storage caching in AngularJS

## When to avoid
- you use Angular 2+ or any modern framework
- you are starting a new project - the library is unmaintained since 2017

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: caching
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: angularjs, cache-factory, localstorage, lru, expiration, nodejs
