# Middleware to turn off caching
This Express middleware sets some HTTP response headers to try to disable client-side caching.
To use it:
```javascript
const nocache = require("nocache");
// ...
app.use(nocache());
```
This sets three headers, disabling a lot of browser caching:
- `Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate`
- `Expires: 0`
- `Surrogate-Control: no-store`
You may wish to do this if you want to ensure that users have up-to-date resources, or if you want to clear out an old version for some reason.
