restify-cache-headers

Automatically creates a cache of ETags upon a request of a changed route in a restify application and adds ETag and Last-Modified headers to the response.

Created to work with restify.plugins.conditionalRequest()

Installation

npm i restify-cache-headers

Usage

const restify = require('restify')
const etagCache = require('restify-cache-headers')

const server = restify.createServer()

// IMPORTANT: Include the check before conditionalRequest plugin
server.use(etagCache.check([options]))
server.use(restify.plugins.conditionalRequest())

// This listener is needed to add previously uncached ETags to the cache
server.on('after', etagCache.write())

Options

Passed onto etag
