FusionLite is a persistent caching solution for .NET applications that integrates with the powerful FusionCache library. It uses SQLite to store cache data, providing a robust and reliable caching mechanism. Although FusionLite implements the IDistributedCache interface for compatibility and ease of use, it is essentially a persisted cache ideal for scenarios where data durability and resilience are key.

• Persistence: Uses SQLite for durable cache storage, ensuring that cached data survives application restarts and crashes.
• FusionCache Integration: Built to work in tandem with ZiggyCreatures' FusionCache, benefiting from its advanced caching features and policies.
• SQLite Flexibility: Supports both file-based and in-memory SQLite databases for cache storage, catering to different application needs.
• Configurable: Offers customizable options, including cache file location, connection pooling, and more.
• Asynchronous Support: Embraces the async/await pattern in .NET, allowing for efficient, non-blocking cache operations.
• Ease of Setup: Can be easily added to the service collection and configured with a fluent API, simplifying integration into your .NET projects.

To begin using FusionLite in your application, install the package via your preferred NuGet package manager:

Install-Package RickDotNet.FusionLite

In your application's startup configuration, add FusionLite to the service collection as follows:

// wherever you register DI services
var fusion = builder.Services  
    .AddFusionCache()  
    .WithFusionLite(builder.Services) // SystemTextJsonSerializer is included
    .WithDefaultEntryOptions(new FusionCacheEntryOptions(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2)));

After setting up FusionLite, you can use FusionCache as normal.

var id = 42;

cache.GetOrSet<Product>(
	$"product:{id}",
	_ => GetProductFromDb(id),
	TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)
