# node-fetch-cache
|
|
|
|
node-fetch with caching to a directory on disk.
|
|
|
|
The first request will result in an HTTP request and any subsequent requests with the same arguments and body function (text, json, buffer, or textConverted) will read the response body from the cache on disk.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Require it with a path to cache in, and then use it the same way you would use fetch.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const fetch = require('node-fetch-cache')('./path/to/cache/dir');
|
|
|
|
fetch('http://google.com')
|
|
.then(response => response.text())
|
|
.then(text => console.log(text));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
Note that this is not the full fetch API. Headers and some other things are not accessible.
|
|
|
|
### async fetch(resource [, init])
|
|
|
|
Same arguments as [browser fetch](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope/fetch).
|
|
|
|
Returns a **CachedResponse**.
|
|
|
|
### async CachedResponse.text()
|
|
|
|
Returns the body as a string.
|
|
|
|
### async CachedResponse.json()
|
|
|
|
Returns the body as a JavaScript object, parsed from JSON.
|
|
|
|
### async CachedResponse.buffer()
|
|
|
|
Returns the body as a Buffer.
|
|
|
|
### async CachedResponse.textConverted()
|
|
|
|
Identical to CachedResponse.text(), except instead of always converting to UTF-8, encoding sniffing will be performed and text converted to UTF-8, if possible.

(This API requires an optional dependency on [npm package encoding](https://www.npmjs.com/package/encoding), which you need to install manually. |
