npm install route-cache
`Test
`sh
npm test
`How to use
`javascript
var routeCache = require('route-cache');// cache route for 20 seconds
app.get('/index', routeCache.cacheSeconds(20), function(req, res){
// do your dirty work here...
console.log('you will only see this every 20 seconds.');
res.send('this response will be cached');
});
`By default
req.originalUrl is used as the cache key so every URL is cached separately.You can set a custom key by passing a second argument to
cacheSeconds.`javascript
routeCache.cacheSeconds(20, 'my-custom-cache-key')
`You can set a dynamic key from the
req and res objects by passing a function.`javascript
// Cache authenticated and unauthenticated responses separately
routeCache.cacheSeconds(20, function(req, res) {
return req.originalUrl + '|' + res.locals.signedIn
})
`If you return
false the response will not be cached.`javascript
// Only cache unauthenticated responses
routeCache.cacheSeconds(20, function(req, res) {
if (res.locals.signedIn) { return false } return req.originalUrl
})
`Delete a cached route
`javascript
routeCache.removeCache('/index');
`Use a distributed cache
`javascript
const Redis = require('ioredis')
const IoRedisStore = require('route-cache/ioRedisStore')
const redisClient = new Redis(6379, '127.0.0.1'))
const cacheStore = new IoRedisStore(redisClient)
routeCache.config({cacheStore})
