A (not yet) fully featured cache-tagging solution for node servers.
Most HTTP servers rely on third-party systems for caching (such as CDNs). Even though this is probably the right approach, sometimes we need a fully featured, local, and simple caching and puring solution for a varying number of reasons. Whatever the reason is for you, we got you covered!
npm i express-cache-tags
import express from 'express'
import cache from 'express-cache-tags'
express()
.use(cache())
// .get(...) your server routes
.listen(3000)All the usage options receive the same options object:
| prop | description | default |
|---|---|---|
| cacheFactory | A cache-object factory | A new memory-cache instace |
| generateKey | A cache-key generator |
(req) => \${req.method}:${rq.url}`` |
| shouldCache | Predicate to decide caching | () => true // cache anything the middleware touches |
| statusHeader | Hitting status header name | 'CDN-Cache' |
| logger | Logging specific options | |
| logger.enabled | Wheter or not to log operations | true |
| logger.scope | Logging scope (see signale) |
'CACHE' |
| cacheTags | Cache-tags specific options | |
| cacheTags.extract | Request cache-tags extractor | `(req, res) => (res.get('Cache-Tags') |
| purger | Purging specific options | |
| purger.extract | Purging tags extractor | `(req, res) => (req.query.invalidate |
A memory-cache compatible object, with at least get, put, keys, and clear methods.
