Cachier is using cachier-service-worker.js to create a layer between network requests and cache. File should be placed on your root directory to observe all scope. This parameter is the location of service worker.

debug {Boolean}

If it is true, it gives information on the console about what is going on.

Listeners

stateChange

Everytime change happens on cache storage over API events, stateChange event triggers. It is bound to document. With a simple eventListener you can catch-up state changes.

Example

import Cachier from 'browser-cachier';

let urlsToCache = ['/dummy/style.css', '/dummy/dummy.json'];
let cachier = new Cachier({ version: 1 });

cachier.add(urlsToCache, (response) => {
  console.log(response);
});

cachier.get(response => {
  console.log('Get: ', response);
});

cachier.get('/dummy/style.css', response => {
  console.log('Get: ', response);
});

// Remove specific cache items after 1500ms
setTimeout(() => {
  cachier.delete(urlsToCache, response => {
    console.log('Delete: ', response);
  });
}, 1500)

// Remove whole cache on page load
window.onload = function () {
  cachier.clear();
};

// Capture state change events
document.addEventListener('stateChange', function (result) {
    console.log('State: ', result.detail)
});
