API

const FileCache = require('file-cache')
const fileCache = FileCache('./static')

FileCache(options)

Return a read file function with cache.

options

Optional, Type: String or Object

options.root

Optional, Type: String, Default: process.cwd().

File directory, that allow to read file.

options.extraFiles

Optional, Type: Array<String>, Default: [].

Extra files path, that allow to read.

options.compress

Optional, Type: Boolean, Default: true.

Allow to compress file with gzip or deflate

options.md5Encoding

Optional, Type: String, Default: base64.

The MD5 encoding can be 'hex', 'binary' or 'base64'.

options.maxCacheLength

Optional, Type: Number, Default: 0.

The maximum length of the files cache in bytes. if cache's size > maxCacheLength, then the least recently used file will be removed. if maxCacheLength === -1, cache will not be used. if maxCacheLength === 0, there is no limit.

options.minCompressLength

Optional, Type: Number, Default: 256.

The minimum length of the files size in bytes that could be compressed.

fileCache(path, encodings)

Return thunk function.

path

Required, Type: String

File path to read.

encodings

Optional, Type: String or Array

Compress encoding, ['gzip', 'deflate'].
