> A generational local cache adapter for Nebulex

## Modules

- [Nebulex.Adapters.Local](Nebulex.Adapters.Local.md): A generational, in-memory cache adapter for Nebulex, inspired by
[epocxy cache](https://github.com/duomark/epocxy/blob/master/src/cxy_cache.erl).
- [Nebulex.Locks](Nebulex.Locks.md): A simple, ETS-based locking mechanism for local synchronization.

- Adapter helpers
  - [Nebulex.Adapters.Local.Generation](Nebulex.Adapters.Local.Generation.md): This module implements the generation manager and garbage collector.
  - [Nebulex.Adapters.Local.Options](Nebulex.Adapters.Local.Options.md): Option definitions for the local adapter.

  - [Nebulex.Adapters.Local.QueryHelper](Nebulex.Adapters.Local.QueryHelper.md): Builds ETS match specifications for `Nebulex.Adapters.Local` from named
fields, so you do not need to write the internal entry tuple
`{:entry, key, value, touched, exp, tag}` yourself.
