Cache

Cache middleware for Fiber designed to intercept responses and cache them. This middleware will cache the Body, Content-Type and StatusCode using the c.Path() as unique identifier. Special thanks to @codemicro for creating this middleware for Fiber core!

Request Directives
Cache-Control: no-cache will return the up-to-date response but still caches it. You will always get a miss cache status.
Cache-Control: no-store will refrain from caching. You will always get the up-to-date response.

Signatures

func New(config ...Config) fiber.Handler

Examples

Import the middleware package that is part of the Fiber web framework

import (
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2/middleware/cache"
)

After you initiate your Fiber app, you can use the following possibilities:

// Initialize default config
app.Use(cache.New())

// Or extend your config for customization
app.Use(cache.New(cache.Config{
    Next: func(c *fiber.Ctx) bool {
        return c.Query("noCache") == "true"
    },
    Expiration: 30 * time.Minute,
    CacheControl: true,
}))

Or you can custom key and expire time like this:

app.Use(cache.New(cache.Config{
    ExpirationGenerator: func(c *fiber.Ctx, cfg *cache.Config) time.Duration {
        newCacheTime, _ := strconv.Atoi(c.GetRespHeader("Cache-Time", "600"))
        return time.Second * time.Duration(newCacheTime)
    },
    KeyGenerator: func(c *fiber.Ctx) string {
		return utils.CopyString(c.Path())
    },
}))

app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
    c.Response().Header.Add("Cache-Time", "6000")
    return c.SendString("hi")
})

Config

Property	Type	Description	Default
Next	func(*fiber.Ctx) bool	Next defines a function that is executed before creating the cache entry and can be used to execute the request without cache creation. If an entry already exists, it will be used. If you want to completely bypass the cache functionality in certain cases, you should use the skip middleware.	nil
Expiration	time.Duration	Expiration is the time that a cached response will live.	1 * time.Minute
CacheHeader	string	CacheHeader is the header on the response header that indicates the cache status, with the possible return values "hit," "miss," or "unreachable."	X-Cache
CacheControl	bool	CacheControl enables client-side caching if set to true.	false
KeyGenerator	func(*fiber.Ctx) string	Key allows you to generate custom keys.	func(c *fiber.Ctx) string { return utils.CopyString(c.Path()) }
ExpirationGenerator	func(*fiber.Ctx, *cache.Config) time.Duration	ExpirationGenerator allows you to generate custom expiration keys based on the request.	nil
Storage	fiber.Storage	Store is used to store the state of the middleware.	In-memory store
Store (Deprecated)	fiber.Storage	Deprecated: Use Storage instead.	In-memory store
Key (Deprecated)	func(*fiber.Ctx) string	Deprecated: Use KeyGenerator instead.	nil
StoreResponseHeaders	bool	StoreResponseHeaders allows you to store additional headers generated by next middlewares & handler.	false
MaxBytes	uint	MaxBytes is the maximum number of bytes of response bodies simultaneously stored in cache.	0 (No limit)
Methods	[]string	Methods specifies the HTTP methods to cache.	[]string{fiber.MethodGet, fiber.MethodHead}
