## DefaultCachePlugin

<GenerationInfo sourceFile="packages/core/src/plugin/default-cache-plugin/default-cache-plugin.ts" sourceLine="48" packageName="@vendure/core" since="3.1.0" />

This plugin provides a simple SQL-based cache strategy [SqlCacheStrategy](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/cache/sql-cache-strategy#sqlcachestrategy) which stores cached
items in the database.

It is suitable for production use (including multi-instance setups). For increased performance
you can also consider using the [RedisCachePlugin](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/cache/redis-cache-plugin#rediscacheplugin).

```ts title="Signature"
class DefaultCachePlugin {
    static options: DefaultCachePluginInitOptions = {
        cacheSize: 10_000,
    };
    init(options: DefaultCachePluginInitOptions) => ;
}
```

<div className="members-wrapper">

### options

\<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`<a href='/current/core/reference/typescript-api/cache/default-cache-plugin#defaultcacheplugininitoptions'>DefaultCachePluginInitOptions</a>`}   />

### init

\<MemberInfo kind="method" type={`(options: <a href='/current/core/reference/typescript-api/cache/default-cache-plugin#defaultcacheplugininitoptions'>DefaultCachePluginInitOptions</a>) => `}   />

</div>
## DefaultCachePluginInitOptions

<GenerationInfo sourceFile="packages/core/src/plugin/default-cache-plugin/default-cache-plugin.ts" sourceLine="18" packageName="@vendure/core" since="3.1.0" />

Configuration options for the [DefaultCachePlugin](/current/core/reference/typescript-api/cache/default-cache-plugin#defaultcacheplugin).

```ts title="Signature"
interface DefaultCachePluginInitOptions {
    cacheSize?: number;
    cacheTtlProvider?: CacheTtlProvider;
}
```

<div className="members-wrapper">

### cacheSize

\<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`number`} default={`10_000`}   />

The maximum number of items to store in the cache. Once the cache reaches this size,
the least-recently-used items will be evicted to make room for new items.

### cacheTtlProvider

\<MemberInfo kind="property" type={`CacheTtlProvider`}   />

Optionally provide a custom CacheTtlProvider to control the TTL of cache items.
This is useful for testing.
