Overview

Public: The middleware responsible for caching and serving responses. The middleware use the provided configuration options to establish a ‘Faraday::HttpCache::Storage’ to cache responses retrieved by the stack adapter. If a stored response can be served again for a subsequent request, the middleware will return the response instead of issuing a new request to it’s server. This middleware should be the last attached handler to your stack, so it will be closest to the inner app, avoiding issues with other middlewares on your stack.

Examples:

# Using the middleware with a simple client:
client = Faraday.new do |builder|
  builder.use :http_cache, store: my_store_backend
  builder.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end

# Attach a Logger to the middleware.
client = Faraday.new do |builder|
  builder.use :http_cache, logger: my_logger_instance, store: my_store_backend
  builder.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end

# Provide an existing CacheStore (for instance, from a Rails app)
client = Faraday.new do |builder|
  builder.use :http_cache, store: Rails.cache
end

# Use Marshal for serialization
client = Faraday.new do |builder|
  builder.use :http_cache, store: Rails.cache, serializer: Marshal
end

# Instrument events using ActiveSupport::Notifications
client = Faraday.new do |builder|
  builder.use :http_cache, store: Rails.cache, instrumenter: ActiveSupport::Notifications
end

Constructor Details

#initialize(app, store: nil, serializer: nil, shared_cache: true, instrumenter: nil, instrument_name: EVENT_NAME, logger: nil) ⇒ HttpCache

Public: Initializes a new HttpCache middleware.

app - the next endpoint on the ‘Faraday’ stack. :store - A cache store that should respond to ‘read’, ‘write’, and ‘delete’. :serializer - A serializer that should respond to ‘dump’ and ‘load’. :shared_cache - A flag to mark the middleware as a shared cache or not. :instrumenter - An instrumentation object that should respond to ‘instrument’. :instrument_name - The String name of the instrument being reported on (optional). :logger - A logger object.

Examples:

# Initialize the middleware with a logger.
Faraday::HttpCache.new(app, logger: my_logger)

# Initialize the middleware with a logger and Marshal as a serializer
Faraday:HttpCache.new(app, logger: my_logger, serializer: Marshal)

# Initialize the middleware with a FileStore at the 'tmp' dir.
store = ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store(:file_store, ['tmp'])
Faraday::HttpCache.new(app, store: store)

# Initialize the middleware with a MemoryStore and logger
store = ActiveSupport::Cache.lookup_store
Faraday::HttpCache.new(app, store: store, logger: my_logger)

Instance Method Details

#call(env) ⇒ Object

Public: Process the request into a duplicate of this instance to ensure that the internal state is preserved.

def call(env)
  dup.call!(env)
end

#call!(env) ⇒ Object

Internal: Process the stack request to try to serve a cache response. On a cacheable request, the middleware will attempt to locate a valid stored response to serve. On a cache miss, the middleware will forward the request and try to store the response for future requests. If the request can’t be cached, the request will be delegated directly to the underlying app and does nothing to the response. The processed steps will be recorded to be logged once the whole process is finished.

Returns a ‘Faraday::Response’ instance.
