# 📝 Description
[//]: #@corifeus-header:end
<!--
Based on [/angular-http-cache](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@d4h/angular-http-cache), but it works without any configuration and a different implementation, so they are not the same at all, but the idea is the same.
-->
Usually, when you want to cache all requests, you do not cache all requests, but only the `GET` method. But, for some frontend applications, it is required to cache everything, otherwise the subsequent requests, without cache, would slow down the application flow. So, this micro-service caches all method/path/query variables/parameters/request body.
The way, we can find out what we are caching it is not simple. Usually, you would cache by a key of the `httpRequest.urlWithParams` and only the `GET` HTTP method.
To create this cache key, this package is using the `object-hash` package, with the following algorithm:
```ts
import hash from 'object-hash'
const hashOptions = {
algorithm: 'md5',
encoding: 'hex'
}
httpToKey(httpRequest: HttpRequest<any>) {
const key = httpRequest.method + '@' + httpRequest.urlWithParams + '@' + hash(httpRequest.params, hashOptions) + '@' + hash(httpRequest.body, hashOptions)
return key
}
```
There is room in the future, to restrict to specific methods and add more configurations and functions. If there is a need for this micro-service, it could be enhanced, but for now, it is caching everything, with the exception, when you include the `CachingHeaders.NoCache` header into your request, then this request will always hit the server.
# Example web page that uses this package
https://angular-http-cache-interceptor.corifeus.com
# How to use it
```bash
npm i p3x-angular-http-cache-interceptor object-hash
```
## Include the caching interceptor into your Angular module
```ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule } from 'p3x-angular-http-cache-interceptor';
export class SomeModule { }
```
### Options
```ts
import { P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule, CachingHeaders, CachingStore } from 'p3x-angular-http-cache-interceptor';
P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule.forRoot({
// default request is no cache
behavior: CachingHeaders.NoCache,
// if a request has CachingHeaders.Cache header it will cache globally
store: CachingStore.Global,
})
P3XHttpCacheInterceptorModule.forRoot({
// default request is cache
behavior: CachingHeaders.Cache,
// in this config, it will cache not globally, but per module
store: CachingStore.PerModule,
})
```
## Example invocation in a component
With and without cache:
```ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from "@angular/common/http";
import {MatSnackBar} from "@angular/material/snack-bar";
import { CachingHeaders } from 'p3x-angular-http-cache-interceptor'
export class AppComponent {
constructor(
private http: HttpClient,
private snack: MatSnackBar,
) {
}
async loadCached() {
try {
const response : any = await this.http.get('https://server.patrikx3.com/api/core/util/random/32').toPromise()
this.snack.open(`Will be always the same: ${response.random}`, 'OK')
} catch(e) {
this.snack.open(`Sorry, error happened, check the console for the error`, 'OK')
console.error(e)
}
}
async loadNonCached() {
try {
const response : any = await this.http.get('https://server.patrikx3.com/api/core/util/random/32', {
headers: {
[CachingHeaders.NoCache]: '1'
}
}).toPromise()
this.snack.open(`Truly random data: ${response.random}`, 'OK')
} catch(e) {
this.snack.open(`Sorry, error happened, check the console for the error`, 'OK')
console.error(e)
}
}
}
```
