# TeslaHTTPCache

HTTP caching middleware for Tesla

## Installation

```elixir
def deps do
[
{:http_cache, "~> 0.3.1"},
{:tesla_http_cache, "~> 0.3.0"}
]
end
```

Responses have to be stored in a separate store backend (this library does not come with one), such
as:
- [`http_cache_store_memory`](https://github.com/tanguilp/http_cache_store_memory): responses are
stored in memory (ETS)
- [`http_cache_store_disk`](https://github.com/tanguilp/http_cache_store_disk): responses are
stored on disk. An application using the `sendfile` system call (such as
[`plug_http_cache`](https://github.com/tanguilp/plug_http_cache)) may benefit from the kernel's
memory caching automatically

Both are cluster-aware.

## Configuration

Options of this middleware are options of the [http_cache](https://hexdocs.pm/http_cache)
library, By default, the following options are set:
- `:type`: `:private`
- `:auto_accept_encoding`: `true`
- `:auto_compress`: `true`

The `:store` option must be set when configuring the middleware.

## Examples

Notice the `age` response header after the first request.

## Middleware order

`http_cache` only caches iodata bodies. As a consequence, beware of not decoding the body before
caching. For instance, do not:

```elixir
defp client(token) do
Tesla.client([
Tesla.Middleware.Logger,
{Tesla.Middleware.BearerAuth, token: token},
{TeslaHTTPCache, %{store: :http_cache_store_memory}},
Tesla.Middleware.JSON # <- WRONG!!!
])
end
```

as the JSON will be decoded before caching, and the body wil be a map (not cacheable). Instead do:

```elixir
defp client(token) do
Tesla.client([
Tesla.Middleware.Logger,
{Tesla.Middleware.BearerAuth, token: token},
Tesla.Middleware.JSON,
{TeslaHTTPCache, %{store: :http_cache_store_memory}}
])
end
```

Response will be cached first then decoded.

## Telemetry events

The following events are emitted:
- `[:tesla_http_cache, :hit]` when a response is returned from the cache
- measurements: none
- metadata:
- `:env`: the `%Tesla.Env{}` associated with the event
- `:freshness`: one of
- `:fresh`: a fresh response was returned
- `:stale`: a stale response was returned
- `:revalidated`: the response was successfully revalidated and returned
- `[:tesla_http_cache, :miss]` in case of cache miss
- measurements: none
- metadata:
- `:env`: the `%Tesla.Env{}` associated with the event
