Description

create(options)

static

Creates an empty TestCaches instance, and sets up Jest to clean up all of its acquired resources after all tests finish.

You typically want to create just a single instance like this at the top of your test file or describe block, and then call init many times on that instance inside the individual tests. Spinning up a "physical" cache instance takes a considerable amount of time, slowing down tests. But wiping the contents of an instance using init is very fast.

eachSupportedId()

init(id)

Returns a fresh, empty cache for the given driver.

setDefaults(options)

static

supports(id)
