What is it?

Getting Started with Connect/Express

Using Connect or Express?

var
	connect = require("connect"),
	http = require("http"),
	HttpCache = require("http-cache")
;

var app = connect()
	.use(new HttpCache({ }))
	.use(function(req, res) {
		res.end("Cache this response! Time=" + new Date().getTime());
	});

http.createServer(app).listen(8392);

Getting Started with HTTP

Real coders use no middleware? We've got you covered...

var
	http = require("http"),
	HttpCache = require("http-cache")
;

var httpcache = new HttpCache({ });
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
	httpcache(req, res, function() {
		res.end("Cache this response! Time=" + new Date().getTime());
	});
}).listen(8392);

Custom Rules

Both synchronous and asynchronous rules may be provided:

httpcache({
	rules: function(req, res) {
		// do not cache users folder
		return (/\/users\//i.test(req.url) === false);
	}
});

Async rules leverage cb instead of returning...

httpcache({
	rules: function(req, res, cb) {
		setTimeout(function() {
			// do not cache users folder
			cb(null, /\/users\//i.test(req.url) === false);
		}, 100);
	}
});

Multiple rules may be provided as well... (will be processed in parallel)

httpcache({
	rules: [ rule1, rule2, rule3 ]
});
