What is axios-cache-interceptor?
The axios-cache-interceptor package is a middleware for Axios that provides caching capabilities. It allows you to cache HTTP requests and responses, reducing the number of network requests and improving performance.
What are axios-cache-interceptor's main functionalities?
Basic Caching
This feature allows you to set up basic caching for your Axios requests. The example demonstrates how to create a cache with a maximum age of 15 minutes and use it with an Axios instance.
const axios = require('axios');
const { setupCache } = require('axios-cache-interceptor');
const cache = setupCache({
maxAge: 15 * 60 * 1000 // 15 minutes
});
const api = axios.create({
adapter: cache.adapter
});
api.get('https://api.example.com/data')
.then(response => console.log(response.data))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Custom Cache Key
This feature allows you to define a custom cache key. The example shows how to create a cache key based on the request URL, method, and parameters.
const axios = require('axios');
const { setupCache } = require('axios-cache-interceptor');
const cache = setupCache({
key: req => req.url + req.method + JSON.stringify(req.params)
});
const api = axios.create({
adapter: cache.adapter
});
api.get('https://api.example.com/data', { params: { id: 1 } })
.then(response => console.log(response.data))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Cache Invalidation
This feature allows you to manually invalidate the cache for specific requests. The example demonstrates how to invalidate the cache for a specific URL.
const axios = require('axios');
const { setupCache } = require('axios-cache-interceptor');
const cache = setupCache();
const api = axios.create({
adapter: cache.adapter
});
api.get('https://api.example.com/data')
.then(response => console.log(response.data))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
// Invalidate the cache for a specific request
cache.invalidate({ url: 'https://api.example.com/data' });
Other packages similar to axios-cache-interceptor
axios-cache-adapter
axios-cache-adapter is another caching library for Axios. It provides similar functionality to axios-cache-interceptor, allowing you to cache HTTP requests and responses. However, axios-cache-adapter offers more configuration options for cache storage, such as using localStorage or a custom store.
axios-extensions
axios-extensions is a package that extends Axios with additional features, including caching. It provides a simple way to add caching to your Axios requests and supports various cache strategies. Compared to axios-cache-interceptor, axios-extensions offers more flexibility in defining cache strategies and expiration times.
