RFC 7234 Cache

Cache middleware implements HTTP caching (RFC 7234). It's based on the Souin HTTP cache library.

Have a look at the Souin documentation if you need more information.

This is a third-party plugin and isn't included by default. See the "Building RoadRunner with Cache" section for more information.

Features

• Sets the Cache-Status HTTP Response Header

• RFC 7234 compliant HTTP Cache.

• REST API to purge the cache and list stored resources.

• Built-in support for distributed cache.

• Tag-based invalidation.

• Partial GraphQL caching.

• Configure multiple HTTP verbs to cache (especially for GraphQL).

• Built-in timeout.

Building RoadRunner with Cache

As it's based on the Souin HTTP cache library, we can directly use the RoadRunner middleware implementation. We have to set the folder property because this middleware is located in a subdirectory.

configuration.toml

[github]
[github.token]
token = "YOUR_GH_TOKEN"

[github.plugins]
# Use the Souin third-party middleware.
cache = { ref = "master", owner = "darkweak", repository = "souin", folder = "/plugins/roadrunner" }
# others ...

[log]
level = "debug"
mode = "development"

Available storages: In-memory/Filesystem

• nutsdb

• badger (default one)

Distributed

• etcd

• olric

Configuration

You can set each Souin configuration key under the http.cache key. There is a configuration example below.

.rr.yaml

  # Other HTTP subkeys

      basepath: /httpcache_api
