Getting Started

bower install --save angular-http-backup

usage

angular
    .module( 'your.module', [ 'httpbackup' ] )
    .config( $httpProvider, httpBackupCacheProvider ) {
        $httpProvider.interceptors.push( 'httpBackupInterceptor' );
        
        // by default all urls are cached,
        // this allows regex to limit what gets cached
        httpBackupCacheProvider.setCachingRules( [
          new RegExp( "^api\/v1" ),        //cache request urls starting with "api/v1"
          new RegExp("^(?!.*[.]html$).*$") //ignore request urls ending with ".html"
        ] );
    }

Resetting cache

// inject httpBackupCache
function controller(httpBackupCache){
    //reset all keys
    httpBackupCache.clear();
    
    // remove individual key 
    httpBackupCache.removeItem('GET:api/v1/auth/login');
    httpBackupCache.removeItem('POST:api/v1/auth/status');
    httpBackupCache.removeItem('PUT:api/v1/auth/ping');
}

Events

    // event $emitted on $rootScope when a response is cached
    $rootScope.$on( 'HttpBackup_cached', function( event, data ) {
        console.log(data.url);      // request url
        console.log(data.response); // cached response
    }    
    
    // event $emitted on $rootScope when a cached response is used
    $rootScope.$on( 'HttpBackup_activated', function( event, data ) {
        console.log(data.url);      // request url
        console.log(data.response); // cached response
