### Getting Started
To you use this cache interceptor, you can apply to an existing instance or create a new one.
```js
import { applyCache } from 'axios-cache-interceptor';
// Your axios instance
let axios;
// Return the same axios instance, but with a modified Typescript type.
axios = applyCache(axios, {
/* options here */
});
```
or by creating a new one:
```js
import { createCache } from 'axios-cache-interceptor';
const axios = createCache({
/* options here */
});
```
After that, you can made your own requests normally.
<br />
### Basic Knowledge
#### Request id
A good thing to know is that every request passed through this interceptor. **This does not mean
that is a unique id**. The id is used in a number of ways, but the most important is to bind a
request to its cache.
The id generation is good enough to generate the same id for theoretically the same request. The
example of this is a request with `{ baseUrl: 'https://a.com/', url: '/b' }` results to the same id
with `{ url: 'https://a.com/b/' }`.
The id is retrieved with the response object.
```js
const result = await cache.get(/* ... */);
const id = result.id; // <-- The id to find the cache and more;
```
Also, a custom id can be used to treat two requests as the same.
```js
axios.get('', {
id: 'my-custom-id',
cache: {
// other properties...
}
});
```
The [default](src/util/key-generator.ts) id generation can clarify this idea.
<br />
### Global configuration
When applying the interceptor, you can customize some properties:
```js
const axios = createCache({
// Properties here
});
```
#### storage
The storage used to save the cache. Here will probably be the most changed property. Defaults to
[MemoryStorage](src/storage/memory.ts).
You can create your own implementation by implementing [CacheStorage](src/storage/types.ts).
Existing implementations:
- [MemoryStorage](src/storage/memory.ts)
- [Session and Local Storage](src/storage/web.ts)
- _Maybe your own?_ (PR's are welcome)
#### generateKey
The function used to create different keys for each request. Defaults to a function that priorizes
the id, and if not specified, a string is generated using the method, baseUrl, params, and url.
#### waiting
A simple object that will hold a promise for each pending request. Used to handle concurrent
requests.
Can also be used as type of _listener_ to know when a request is finished.
#### headerInterpreter
The function used to interpret all headers from a request and determine a time to live (`ttl`)
number.
Check out the [inline documentation](src/header/types.ts) to know how to modify your own.
#### requestInterceptor and responseInterceptor
The used request and response interceptor. Basically the core function of this library. Check out
the used [request](src/interceptors/request.ts) and [response](src/interceptors/response.ts) to see
the default used.
<br />
### Per-request configuration
By using this axios client and using an ide with intellisense, you'll see a custom property called
`cache`.
The inline documentation is self explanatory, but here are some examples and information:
#### ttl
The time that the request will remain in cache. Some custom storage implementations may not respect
100% the time.
When using `interpretHeader`, this value is ignored.
#### interpretHeader
If activated, when the response is received, the `ttl` property will be inferred from the requests
headers. See the actual implementation of the [`interpretHeader`](src/header/interpreter.ts) method
for more information. You can override the default behavior by setting the `headerInterpreter` when
creating the cached axios client.
#### methods
Specify what request methods should be cached.
Defaults to only `GET` methods.
#### cachePredicate
An object or function that will be tested against the response to test if it can be cached. See the
[inline documentation](src/util/cache-predicate.ts) for more.
An simple example with all values:
```js
axios.get('url', {
cache: {
cachePredicate: {
// Only cache if the response comes with a *good* status code
statusCheck: [200, 399],
// Tests against any header present in the response.
containsHeader: {
'x-custom-header': true,
'x-custom-header-2': 'only if matches this string',
'x-custom-header-3': (value) => /* some calculation */ true
},
// Check custom response body
responseMatch: (response) => {
// Sample that only caches if the response is authenticated
return response.auth.status === 'authenticated':
}
}
}
});
```
#### update
Once the request is resolved, this specifies what other responses should change their cache. Can be
used to update the request or delete other caches. It is a simple `Record` with the request id.
Example:
```js
// Retrieved together with their responses
let otherResponseId;
let userInfoResponseId;
axios.get('url', {
cache: {
update: {
// Evict the otherRequestId cache when this response arrives
[otherResponseId]: 'delete',
// An example that update the "user info response cache" when doing a login.
// Imagine this request is a login one.
[userInfoResponseId]: (cachedValue, thisResponse) => {
return { ...cachedValue, user: thisResponse.user.info };
}
}
}
});
```

### Inspiration
This project is highly inspired by several projects, written entirely in typescript, supporting
