Cache
=====
**extends Array**
A Cache object extends an Array (so it can be used like a regular array) but introduces helper functions to make it more useful when developing with discord.js. Unlike a regular array, it doesn't care about the instance or prototype of an object, it works purely on properties.
**Examples:**
.. code-block:: js
client.users.get("id", 11238414);
client.channels.getAll("name", "general");
--------
Functions
---------
get(key, value)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Returns a contained object where ``object[key] == value``. Returns the first object found that matches the criteria.
getAll(key, value)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Similar to ``cache.get(key, value)``, but returns a Cache of any objects that meet the criteria.
has(key, value)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Returns `true` if there is an object that meets the condition ``object[key] == value`` in the cache
add(data)
~~~~~~~~~
Adds an object to the Cache as long as all the other objects in the cache don't have the same ID as it.
update(old, data)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Updates an old object in the Cache (if it exists) with the new one.
remove(data)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Removes an object from the cache if it exists.
random()
