Nuxt Cache Keys

Nuxt module, that provides a system to set cache-keys for later use in e.g. a full-page cache like Varnish or Fastly.

Installation

• NPM: npm install nuxt-cache-keys
• pnpm: pnpm install nuxt-cache-keys
• Yarn: yarn add nuxt-cache-keys

Usage

Add the module

Add the module in your nuxt.config.ts:

{
    modules: [
      'nuxt-cache-keys'
    ],
      
    cachingHeaders: {
        cacheKeyHeader: 'xkeys',
        cacheKeySeparator: ',' // optional, default is a space
    }
}

Use the composable

export default {
    setup(props) {
      const { addCacheKey } = useCacheKeys()
      // add cache tag as string
      addCacheKey('my-cache-tag')
      // add multiple cache tags as array
      addCacheKey(['my-cache-tag', 'my-other-cache-tag'])
    }
}

The module/plugin will then aggregate and deduplicate all cache keys on the page and attach them to the HTTP response as a header. Example HTTP-Response headers:

xkeys: my-cache-tag my-other-cache-tag

or

surrogate-key: my-cache-tag my-other-cache-tag
