Cache Clear

Clay Kiln Plugin to Clear Fastly Cache

Requirements

The Kiln project that is going to use this plugin should set the following environment variable:

FASTLY_API_KEY=cool-api-key

If FASTLY_API_KEY is not provided, the plugin will fall back to making unauthenticated HTTP requests with the PURGE method. This is a good option if using IP origin rules for allowing purges.

Getting Started

• Install the package as a dependency

npm install --save cache-clear

• Create a directory for your plugin inside the kiln/plugins directory in the services section

mkdir PROJECT_DIRECTORY/app/services/kiln/plugins/PLUGIN_NAME

• Create an index.js file in the previous directory created, importing main components for the plugin and setting them in the specific window.kiln object.

// index.js

const {
  NavButton,
  NavContent,
  CacheClearPlugin
} = require('cache-clear');

// Used to export components to the window element
module.exports = () => {
  window.kiln.navButtons['cache-clear'] = NavButton;
  window.kiln.navContent['cache-clear'] = NavContent;
  window.kiln.plugins['cache-clear'] = CacheClearPlugin;
};

• At app/services/kiln/index/js require the previously created file

require('./plugins/cache-clear')();
