4. Configure your Startup.cs file : Add connection string services.AddDistributedRedisCache(options => options.Configuration = Configuration["RedisConnectionString"]);
5. Configure your Startup.cs file : Add services.AddSingleton<ICacheService, CacheService>();

How to use

Example controller:

private readonly ICacheService CacheService;

public HomeController(ICacheService cacheService) => CacheService = cacheService;

public async Task<IActionResult> OrganizeCache()
{
  // Cache name
  const string cacheName = "TestKey";
  
  // Get cache value
  Test test = await CacheService.GetCacheAsync<Test>(cacheName);
  
  // Cache value is null
  if (test == null)
  {
    // Create new value
    Test testValue = new()
    {
      Id = 1,
      Name = "Cenk"
    };
  
    // Set new value
    test = await CacheService.SetCacheAsync(cacheName, testValue, 10);
  }
  
  ViewBag.Result = test;

  return View();
}

Example model:

public record Test
{
  public int Id { get; init; }
  public string Name { get; init; }
}

Removing cache key

Simply call

await Cache.RemoveCacheAsync("cacheName");
