I have recently hit a use case where it would be nice to have an option to reset a cache, e.g. Cachex.reset/2.

Reset would re-initalize all hooks and empty the cache

I'm thinking of three options:

• async: the default option which casts instead of calling
• only: a list of things to reset, e.g. [ :cache, :hooks ]
  • so only: :hooks would reset hook states but not the cache itself
• hooks: a list of hooks to reset, if you wish to only reset certain hooks.

Here are a couple of examples:

Cachex.reset(:my_cache) # wipes cache, resets all hooks
Cachex.reset(:my_cache, only: :hooks) # only resets the hooks of a cache, leaves it filled
Cachex.reset(:my_cache, hooks: [ Cachex.Stats ]) # only resets the stats hook
