> Automatically cleanup expired items in a Map


## Install

```
$ npm install map-age-cleaner
```


## Usage

```js
import mapAgeCleaner from 'map-age-cleaner';

const map = new Map([
	['unicorn', {data: '🦄', maxAge: Date.now() + 1000}]
]);

mapAgeCleaner(map);

map.has('unicorn');
//=> true

// Wait for 1 second...

map.has('unicorn');
//=> false
```

> **Note**: Items have to be ordered ascending based on the expiry property. This means that the item which will be expired first, should be in the first position of the `Map`.
