express-lru
Express middleware that serves as a stopgap for Varnish – for times when you don't have time to set up Varnish or want something simpler. A few notes:
- It will only cache
200
-status responses. - Response headers (like
Content-Type
) will be cached and served like normal. - Supports JSON, Buffers, and Strings.
- Has a "skip" option that allows for control of what requests bypass the cache. In most cases you’ll want to return
true
for logged in users.
Example Usage
var expresslru = require('express-lru');
var cache = expresslru({
max: 1000,
ttl: 60000,
skip: function(req) {
return !!req.user;
}
});
app.get('/myroute', cache, function(req, res, next) {
// ...
});
