#Angular.js-server

This package is a plugin for angular.js-server (https://github.com/a-lucas/angular.js-server).

It allows you to re-play REST calls (API & templates) as soon as the client loads the cached HTML.

This considerably speeds up the AngularJS initial website page load time.

#Workflow

1. The browser vist the url http://domain:port/url
2. Your node sever with angular.js-server receives the request , and pre-render the HTML.
3. If the server detects the presence of angular.js-server-cache, it will store all the template and ajax calls made during prerender inside the HTML
4. The Browser receives the generated HTML response
5. server-cache module will check if any caching data is available, and will load & use them to render the web app in the client.
6. Once the Angular app is fully loaded, the caching strategy will be set to serverCacheConfig.defaultCache value (Default - false)

#Usage:

bower install angular.js-server-cache

or

npm install angular.js-server-ng-cache

Then include the file:

dist/angular.js-server-ng-cache.min.js into your HTML, and include the module server-cache

angular.module('yourApp', [ your dependencies..., 'server-cache']);

#defaultcache option

By default, $http caching is disabled once the application has been rendered in the client.

You can enable it :

angular.module('yourApp', [ your dependencies..., 'server-cache']);
angular.module('server-cache').constant('serverCacheConfig', {defaultConfig: true});

A new cacheFactoryProvider

This file is a modified version of the original AngularJS 1.5 cacheFactoryProvider, and adds several methods to the cache factory.

No code change, just new methods.

##$cacheFactoryProvider.export (cacheId)

Export the secified cache into JSON

##$cacheFactoryProvider.exportAll()

Exports all the caches

##$cacheFactoryProvider.importAll(cacheData)

Import the data exported trough the method exportAll

##$cacheFactoryProvider.import(cacheId)

Specifically import a cache

##$cacheFactoryProvider.info(cacheId)

Get info about a cache

##$cacheFactoryProvider.infoAll()

Get info about all caches
