cache-control-parser

A humble cache-control parser.

Features

• Fault-tolerant
• Case-insensitive
• No dependencies
• Built-in TypeScript support
• Thoroughly tested

✨ New: you can now stringify cache control objects

Getting Started

Installation

To use cache-control-parser in your project, run:

npm install "@masx200/cache-control-parser"

Usage

Example - parse a string of cache control directives into an object:

import { parse } from "@masx200/cache-control-parser";

const directives = parse(
  "public, max-age=300, no-transform",
);

console.log(directives);

Output:

{
  "public": true,
  "max-age": 300,
  "no-transform": true
}

Example - destructuring the cache control object:

import { parse } from "@masx200/cache-control-parser";

const directives = parse(
  "max-age=300, s-maxage=0",
);

const { "max-age": maxAge, "s-maxage": sMaxAge } = directives;

Example - retrieve the shared proxy cache TTL:

import { parse } from "@masx200/cache-control-parser";

const { "max-age": maxAge, "s-maxage": ttl = maxAge } = parse(
  "max-age=300, s-maxage=0",
);

console.log("ttl:", ttl);

Output:

ttl: 0

Example - stringify a cache control object:

import { stringify } from "@masx200/cache-control-parser";

const cacheControl = stringify({
  "max-age": 300,
  "s-maxage": 3600,
  "public": true,
});

console.log(cacheControl);

Output:

max-age=300, s-maxage=3600, public

Example - Next.js API route response header:

import { stringify } from "@masx200/cache-control-parser";
import type { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next";

export default (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
  res.setHeader(
    "Cache-Control",
    stringify({
      "max-age": 300,
    }),
  );

  res.send("Hello world");
};

  "max-age"?: number;

优化了stringify,如果boolean值为false,则不返回对应的key
