### Usage examples

```js
var cacheManager = require('cache-manager')
var memcachedStore = require('cache-manager-memcached-store')

var memcachedCache = cacheManager.caching({
    store: memcachedStore,
    // http://memcache-plus.com/initialization.html - see options
    options: {
        hosts: ['127.0.0.1:11211']
    } 
})

var ttl = 30

// Compression must be manually set - see memcached-plus documentation
// The key must always be a string
// http://memcache-plus.com/set.html
memcachedCache.set('foo', 'bar', ttl, function(err) {
  if (err) {
    throw err
  }
    
  // http://memcache-plus.com/get.html
  memcachedCache.get('foo', function(err, result) {
      console.log(result)
      // >> 'bar'
      memcachedCache.del('foo', function(err) {})
  })
})
```
