cached-fetch

What is it?

It's a small library to cache and dedupe calls, with server rendering in mind.

How does it work?

import fetch from '@e1himself/cached-fetch'
await fetch('do as usual')

Overriding global fetch

import '@e1himself/cached-fetch/register'
await fetch('do as usual')

Integration with Astro

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';

import cachedFetch from '@e1himself/cached-fetch/astro';

export default defineConfig({
  integrations: [
    cachedFetch(),
  ]
});

What does it do?

The extended api is:

import { createCachedFetch, createDedupedFetch } from '@e1himself/cached-fetch'

const fetch = createDedupedFetch(
  createCachedFetch(global.fetch)
)

createDedupedFetch

This will create a in memory storage which will hold the fetch promises until they are settled. If many fetch calls are made to the same resources, only the 1st one will be returned.

createCachedFetch

This is an implementation of the cache policy for server side. The spec is defined at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Request/cache and each of the policy should be as close as possible from the original definition.

Customisation and further

getCacheKey

Both functions are using a similar getCacheKey(...args: Parameters<typeof fetch>): string | false function which will be used to compute a cache key for a given request. If cache is not applicable, we should return false, a string otherwise.

This function can be replaced in the options object of both createCachedFetch and createDedupedFetch.

cache object

For introspection and cache manipulation, both of the function can receive an optional cache object which abide to the Store<T> interface, passed in the options object as well.

CachePolicy

For decomposition and flexibility, implementation of each of the RequestCache value is made as an individual function. You can pass/customize each up to your liking by passing a policies object by yourself in the createCachedFetch options. The function signature will need to implement the CachePolicy type.
