fastify-lcache

fastify-lcache plugin for Fastify for memorize data on first request and use it next time until ttl expires

npm i fastify-lcache

Example

// your app
import fastify from 'fastify';
import lcache from 'fastify-lcache';

const app = fastify();
const address = '0.0.0.0';
const port = 4000;

app.register(lcache, {
  ttlInMinutes: 10, // set cached data lifetime to 10 minutes
});

app.after(() => {
  // add your routes
  app.get('/ping', async (req, reply) => {
    reply.send('pong');
  });
});

app.listen(port, address);

// client wants data from your app
const url = 'http://0.0.0.0:4000/ping';
// first request will return origin data from route '/ping'
// and put result to the cache
axios.get(url);
// the following requests within 10 minutes
// will return cached data on this route
axios.get(url);

⚠️ IMPORTANT

Restarting your app resets the cache
