npm install node-internal-cache --save

const NodeCache = require("node-internal-cache");
const myCache = new NodeCache();

Option	Type	Default	Description
`stdTTL`	`number`	`0`	Standard ttl in seconds for every generated cache element. `0` = unlimited
`checkperiod`	`number`	`600`	Period in seconds for the automatic delete check interval. `0` = no periodic check
`useClones`	`boolean`	`true`	En/disable cloning of variables. `true` returns a copy. `false` saves and returns just the reference
`deleteOnExpire`	`boolean`	`true`	Whether variables will be deleted automatically when they expire
`enableLegacyCallbacks`	`boolean`	`false`	Re-enables usage of callbacks instead of sync functions
`maxKeys`	`number`	`-1`	Maximum amount of keys. `-1` disables the limit

const NodeCache = require("node-internal-cache");
const myCache = new NodeCache({ stdTTL: 100, checkperiod: 120 });

Since 4.1.0: keys can be given as string or number, but are cast to string internally. All other types throw an error.
