Cache Management API

This feature provides several API endpoints to manage the caches. You can get a list of cache items, inspect cache items, delete items by key or delete items by cache tags.

Configuration

nuxt.config.tsmultiCache.serverOptions.ts

typescript

import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  multiCache: {
    api: {
      enabled: true,
      prefix: '/__nuxt_multi_cache',
      authorization: 'hunter2',
      cacheTagInvalidationDelay: 60000
    }
  }
}

typescript

// ~/server/multiCache.serverOptions.ts
import { defineMultiCacheOptions } from 'nuxt-multi-cache/dist/runtime/serverOptions'
import { isAuthenticated } from './somewhere'

export default defineMultiCacheOptions({
  api: {
    // Use a custom method that checks authorization. Can be something like
    // cookie, basic auth or request IP.
    authorization: async function (event) {
      return await isAuthenticated(event)
    },
  },
})

Authorization

By default the endpoints are not accesible without authorization.

Token based (x-nuxt-multi-cache-token)

This is the authorization used when the provided api.authorization value is a string. In this case the token is expected in the x-nuxt-multi-cache-token header:

fetchcurl

typescript

fetch('http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/component', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {

    'x-nuxt-multi-cache-token': 'hunter2', 
  }, 
  body: JSON.stringify(['Navbar::de--chf']),
})

bash

curl -X POST -i \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-nuxt-multi-cache-token: hunter2" \ // [!code focus]
  --data '["Navbar::de--chf"]' \
  http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/component

Custom Callback

You can also implement your own authorization check via the server options.

Disabled

You can disable authorization by setting the value of api.authorization to false. Only do this if the endpoints are not accessible publicly!

Purge Everything

Purges everything from all caches.

fetchcurl

typescript

fetch('http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/all', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-nuxt-multi-cache-token': 'hunter2',
  },
})

bash

curl -X POST -i \
  -H "x-nuxt-multi-cache-token: hunter2" \
  http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/all

Response

json

{
  "status": "OK"
}

Purge Item

Purge one or more cache items by key.

Example: Purge component with key `Navbar::de--chf`

fetchcurl

typescript

fetch('http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/component', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-nuxt-multi-cache-token': 'hunter2',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(['Navbar::de--chf']),
})

bash

curl -X POST -i \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-nuxt-multi-cache-token: hunter2" \
  --data '["Navbar::de--chf"]' \
  http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/component

Response

json

{
  "status": "OK",
  "affectedKeys": ["Navbar::de--chf"]
}

Example: Purge two specific pages

fetchcurl

typescript

fetch('http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/route', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-nuxt-multi-cache-token': 'hunter2',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(['/about', '/product/123']),
})

bash

curl -X POST -i \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-nuxt-multi-cache-token: hunter2" \
  --data '["/about", "/product/123"]' \
  http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/route

Response

json

{
  "status": "OK",
  "affectedKeys": ["/about", "/product/123"]
}

Purge Tags

Purge cache items by cache tags.

INFO

All tags are collected for some time (default: 1min), after which the cache items are purged. This is because cache tags are stored together with the items. This means that every item needs to be loaded from the cache and its tags checked.

The delay is configurable via the api.cacheTagInvalidationDelay option.

Example Purge all cache items with cache tag `language:de`

fetchcurl

typescript

fetch('http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/tags', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-nuxt-multi-cache-token': 'hunter2',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(['language:de']),
})

bash

curl -X POST -i \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-nuxt-multi-cache-token: hunter2" \
  --data '["language:de"]' \
  http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/purge/tags

Response

json

{
  "status": "OK",
  "tags": ["language:de"]
}

Get Stats

Get a list of all items in a cache.

Example: Get a list of all cached components

fetchcurl

typescript

fetch('http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/stats/component', {
  headers: {
    'x-nuxt-multi-cache-token': 'hunter2',
  },
})

bash

curl -i \
  -H "x-nuxt-multi-cache-token: hunter2" \
  http://localhost:3000/__nuxt_multi_cache/stats/component

Response

json

{
  "status": "OK",
  "rows": [
    {
      "key": "RandomNumber",
      "data": "<div><h3>Component with random number</h3><div>RANDOM_NUMBER__686204309__</div></div>"
