## cache_checker
### CacheChecker
Checks for the presence of documents in a Document Store based on a specified field in each document's metadata.
If matching documents are found, they are returned as "hits". If not found in the cache, the items
are returned as "misses".
### Usage example
```python
from haystack import Document
from haystack.document_stores.in_memory import InMemoryDocumentStore
from haystack.components.caching.cache_checker import CacheChecker
docstore = InMemoryDocumentStore()
documents = [
Document(content="doc1", meta={"url": "https://example.com/1"}),
Document(content="doc2", meta={"url": "https://example.com/2"}),
Document(content="doc3", meta={"url": "https://example.com/1"}),
Document(content="doc4", meta={"url": "https://example.com/2"}),
]
docstore.write_documents(documents)
checker = CacheChecker(docstore, cache_field="url")
results = checker.run(items=["https://example.com/1", "https://example.com/5"])
assert results == {"hits": [documents[0], documents[2]], "misses": ["https://example.com/5"]}
```
#### __init__
```python
__init__(document_store: DocumentStore, cache_field: str) -> None
```
Creates a CacheChecker component.
**Parameters:**
- **document_store** (<code>DocumentStore</code>) Document Store to check for the presence of specific documents.
- **cache_field** (<code>str</code>) Name of the document's metadata field
to check for cache hits.
#### to_dict
```python
to_dict() -> dict[str, Any]
```
Serializes the component to a dictionary.
**Returns:**
- <code>dict\[str, Any\]</code> Dictionary with serialized data.
#### from_dict
```python
from_dict(data: dict[str, Any]) -> CacheChecker
```
Deserializes the component from a dictionary.
**Parameters:**
- **data** (<code>dict\[str, Any\]</code>) Dictionary to deserialize from.
**Returns:**
- <code>CacheChecker</code> Deserialized component.
#### run
```python
run(items: list[Any]) -> dict[str, Any]
```
Checks if any document associated with the specified cache field is already present in the store.
**Parameters:**
- **items** (<code>list\[Any\]</code>) Values to be checked against the cache field.
**Returns:**
- <code>dict\[str, Any\]</code> A dictionary with two keys:
- `hits` - Documents that matched with at least one of the items.
- `misses` - Items that were not present in any documents.
#### run_async
```python
run_async(items: list[Any]) -> dict[str, Any]
```
Asynchronously checks if any document associated with the specified cache field is already present in the store.
**Parameters:**
- **items** (<code>list\[Any\]</code>) Values to be checked against the cache field.
**Returns:**
- <code>dict\[str, Any\]</code> A dictionary with two keys:
- `hits` - Documents that matched with at least one of the items.
- `misses` - Items that were not present in any documents.
