-/**
- * ### About
- * This cache removes values based on TTL (Time-To-Live).
- *
- * If you store a key with a TTL of 1 second, that key will be removed after 1 second.
- *
- * ### Example
- * ```typescript
- * const cache = new TTLCache({maxsize: 2, ttl: 1000})
- *
- * //store some keys
- *
- * //default ttl will be used (1000)
- * cache['foo'] = 'bar'
- *
- * //custom ttl will be used (500)
- * cache.set('bar', 'foo', 500)
- *
- * //store another key
- * cache['baz'] = 'foo'
- * //throws SizeError, you need to delete some key to store another key
- *
- * //will log: undefined
- * setTimeout(() => console.log(cache['bar']), 1000)
- *
- * ```
