sails-hook-webcache v0.0.2

sails-hook-webcache

Sails.js hook that provides web caching to compressed files on disk.

Installation

npm install --save sails-hook-webcache

Configuration

By default, the compressed files are stored inside .tmp/webcache/ using the name {hostname}/{urlHash}.gz.

The cache root directory can be configured by changing the value of sails.config.webcache.cacheRoot.

Example

The request method performs the actual GET request and returns the response body like so:

sails.hooks.webcache.request({
  url: 'http://example.com',  // Fetch this URL
  followRedirect: false,      // Should we follow 3xx HTTP responses?
  reset: false                // Should we fetch a new copy?
}, function (err, body) {
  if (err) {
    sails.log.error('Request failed.');
  }
  else {
    // Do something with your body!
    sails.log.info('Response body is ' + body.length + ' bytes.');
  }
});
