DummyClient

This class provides a simplified, in-memory key-value store interface for caching data. It supports basic operations such as retrieving, setting, and deleting individual or multiple keys, as well as incrementing numeric values. The class is designed to mimic a standard cache client for testing or lightweight storage purposes.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
cache	dict = _DUMMY_CLIENT_CACHE	Internal storage dictionary used to simulate a cache backend for storing and retrieving key-value pairs.

get()

@classmethod
def get(
    key: string,
    *args: any,
    **kwargs: any
) - > any

Retrieves the value associated with a specific key from the cache.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
key	string	The unique identifier for the cached item to retrieve.
*args	any	Additional positional arguments ignored by the dummy implementation.
**kwargs	any	Additional keyword arguments ignored by the dummy implementation.

Returns

Type	Description
any	The value stored in the cache for the given key, or None if the key does not exist.

---

get_multi()

@classmethod
def get_multi(
    keys: list
) - > dict

Fetches multiple values from the cache simultaneously for a provided list of keys.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
keys	list	A collection of unique identifiers to look up in the cache.

Returns

Type	Description
dict	A dictionary mapping existing keys to their respective cached values.

---

set()

@classmethod
def set(
    key: string,
    value: any,
    *args: any,
    **kwargs: any
) - > null

Stores a value in the cache under the specified key, overwriting any existing data.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
key	string	The unique identifier used to store and later retrieve the value.
value	any	The data object to be stored in the cache.
*args	any	Additional positional arguments ignored by the dummy implementation.
**kwargs	any	Additional keyword arguments ignored by the dummy implementation.

Returns

Type	Description
null	None

---

delete()

@classmethod
def delete(
    key: string,
    *args: any,
    **kwargs: any
) - > null

Removes a specific key and its associated value from the cache if it exists.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
key	string	The unique identifier of the cached item to be removed.
*args	any	Additional positional arguments ignored by the dummy implementation.
**kwargs	any	Additional keyword arguments ignored by the dummy implementation.

Returns

Type	Description
null	None

---

incr()

@classmethod
def incr(
    key: string,
    delta: integer
) - > integer

Increments the numeric value of a cached key by a specified delta.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
key	string	The unique identifier for the numeric value to increment.
delta	integer	The amount to add to the current value; defaults to 1.

Returns

Type	Description
integer	The new value of the key after the increment operation has been applied.

---

touch()

@classmethod
def touch(
    key: string,
    expire: integer
) - > null

Updates the expiration time of a cached key without modifying its value.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
key	string	The unique identifier of the cached item to update.
expire	integer	The new expiration time in seconds for the cached item.

Returns

Type	Description
null	None
