# 🚀 Nitro Cacher

 [Fiddler Classic](https://www.telerik.com/fiddler) add-on to cache API responses based on rules. 

Useful while developing in projects that use

 * rate-limited APIs.

 * lot of API calls that are cached in-memory in the application process. These get invalidated between recompiles in your development machine and could take a lot of time to rebuild.

 

 An out-proc/disk cache baked into the application is probably the right solution to these problems. 

 But chances are that you are already using Fiddler for debugging API calls, and this add-on provides a cheap and re-usable alternative 

 for caching API calls in your development machine without needing you to change a single line of your project's code.

 

 ## Features

  * Match URL using various criteria: Exact, Partial, Regex, Host Name. 

  * Options to mark sessions served from cache in UI with colors, or hide it.

  * Enable/Disable the cache for individual rules or as a whole.

  * Group rules into profiles, and switch between profiles at any time.

  * Reset cache per rule, per profile or as a whole.

 

 ## Installation

 

 Download the NitroCacher.dll from releases, and 

 * Copy to \Documents\Fiddler2\Scripts to make the extension available to the current user.

 * Copy to \Program Files\Fiddler2\Scripts OR AppData\Local\Programs\Fiddler\Scripts (this path depends on how fiddler was installed) to install for all users

 

 Restart fiddler, and navigate to `Nitro Cacher` tab for configuring rules.

 ## Contribute

 Bug reports and Pull Requests are welcome. The add-on is not thouroghly tested, and could use some improvements in terms of code and features.

 Few features that are planned: 

 - [ ] An installer

 - [ ] Persistant cache

 - [ ] Filter requests further using HTTP verbs

 - [ ] Expiration and Cache size limit for the cache.

 - [ ] Display Summary of cache (Number of items, memeory used etc.)

 

 ### Developing

 * Checkout the code

 * Open NitroCacher.sln in Visual Studio

 * Edit the Post Build event to point to  where the add-on should be copied to. 

 * Update references to fiddler.exe with the correct paths.

 * Build.

 * Launch fiddler to test the add-on. Every recompilation needs fiddler to be closed and opned again to reload the add-on.

 * Attach Visual Studio to the Fiddler.exe process for debugging.
