## Usage
Require it with a directory path to cache in, and then use it the same way you would use fetch.
Require it and use it the same way you would use node-fetch:
```js
const fetch = require('node-fetch-cache')('./path/to/cache/dir');
const fetch = require('node-fetch-cache');
fetch('http://google.com')
.then(response => response.text())
.then(text => console.log(text));
```
The next time you `fetch('http://google.com')`, the response will be returned from the cache. No HTTP request will be made.
## API
This module aims to expose the same API as `node-fetch` does for the most common use cases, but may not support some of the less common use cases.

### const fetch = require('node-fetch-cache')('./path/to/cache/dir')
### const fetch = require('node-fetch-cache');
Load the module and specify the directory to cache responses in.
If this syntax looks at all foreign to you, you can do this instead:
```js
const createNodeFetchCache = require('node-fetch-cache');
const fetch = createNodeFetchCache('./path/to/cache/dir');
```
Same thing.
Load the module.
