get

Description

Returns an item from cache (null if doesn't exist).

Input Parameters

Returns

Type: Any

Returns the specified item from cache or null if it does not exist or is empty.

If a default value is specified and the item doesn't exist, then the default value is inserted into the cache and returned as the value. This offers a simple way to avoid checking if an item exists before retrieving it.

Examples

// get score value from cache
// returns null if doesn't exist
var score = cache.get("score");

// get score value from cache
// returns a default value of 85 if doesn't exist
var score = cache.get("score", 85);

// get person object from cache
// we assume a person object was previously inserted into cache
var person = cache.get("myPerson");

// print person's first name to the debug console
debug.log(person.firstName);

Remarks

Use this function when you want to retrieve information that has been stored into cache from previous script executions.
