But, for some frontend applications, it is required to cache everything, otherwise the subsequent requests, without cache, would slow down the application flow. So, this micro-service caches all method/path/query variables/parameters/request body. The way, we can find out what we are caching it is not simple. Usually, you would cache by a key of the `httpRequest.urlWithParams` and only the `GET` HTTP method. To create this cache key, this package is using the `object-hash` package, with the following algorithm: ```ts import * as hash from 'object-hash' const hashOptions = { algorithm: 'md5', encoding: 'hex' } httpToKey(httpRequest: HttpRequest<any>) { const key = httpRequest.method + '@' + httpRequest.urlWithParams + '@' + hash(httpRequest.params, hashOptions) + '@' + hash(httpRequest.body, hashOptions) return key } ``` There is room in the future, to restrict to specific methods and add more configurations and functions. If there is a need for this micro-service, it could be enhanced, but for now, it is caching everything, with the exception, when you include the `CachingHeaders.NoCache` header into your request, then this request will always hit the server. # Example web page that uses this package https://angular-http-cache-interceptor.corifeus.com # How to use it ```bash npm i p3x-angular-http-cache-interceptor object-hash ``` ## Include the caching interceptor into your Angular module ```ts import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule } from 'p3x-angular-http-cache-interceptor'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ ], imports: [ P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule, ], providers: [ ], bootstrap: [] }) export class SomeModule { } ``` ### Options ```ts import { P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule, CachingHeaders, CachingStore } from 'p3x-angular-http-cache-interceptor'; P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule.forRoot({ // default request is no cache behavior: CachingHeaders.NoCache, // if a request has CachingHeaders.Cache header it will cache globally store: CachingStore.Global, }) P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule.forRoot({ // default request is cache behavior: CachingHeaders.Cache, // in this config, it will cache not globally, but per module store: CachingStore.PerModule, }) ``` ## Example invocation in a component With and without cache: ```ts import { Component } from '@angular/core'; import { HttpClient } from "@angular/common/http"; import {MatSnackBar} from "@angular/material/snack-bar"; import { CachingHeaders } from 'p3x-angular-http-cache-interceptor' @Component({ selector: 'p3x-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss'] }) export class AppComponent { constructor( private http: HttpClient, private snack: MatSnackBar, ) { } async loadCached() { try { const response : any = await this.http.get('https://server.patrikx3.com/api/core/util/random/32').toPromise() this.snack.open(`Will be always the same: ${response.random}`, 'OK') } catch(e) { this.snack.open(`Sorry, error happened, check the console for the error`, 'OK') console.error(e) } } async loadNonCached() { try { const response : any = await this.http.get('https://server.patrikx3.com/api/core/util/random/32', { headers: { [CachingHeaders.NoCache]: '1' } }).toPromise() this.snack.open(`Truly random data: ${response.random}`, 'OK') } catch(e) { this.snack.open(`Sorry, error happened, check the console for the error`, 'OK') console.error(e) } } } ``` [//]: #@corifeus-footer --- ## Support Our Open-Source Project ❤️ If you appreciate our work, consider starring this repository or making a donation to support server maintenance and ongoing development.
