jquery-ajax-localstorage-cache is a plugin built for jQuery (>1.5.1) and localStorage. It's a fork from the jStorage-dependent original. It provides a client-side cache AJAX responses intended to save bandwith and time.
$.ajax({
url : '/post',
localCache : true, // required to use
cacheTTL : 1, // in hours. Optional
cacheKey : 'post', // optional
isCacheValid : function(){ // optional
return true;
},
success: function(reply) {
// i can play with my reply !
}
});
On your AJAX request you get 4 new parameters :
- localCache
- Turn localCache on/off
- Default: false
- cacheTTL
- time in hours the entry should be valid.
- only for this specific ajax request
- Default : 5 hours
- cacheKey
- CacheKey is the key that will be used to store the response in localStorage. It allow you to delete your cache easily with the localStorage.removeItem() function.
- Default: URL + TYPE(GET/POST) + DATA
- isCacheValid
- This function must return true or false. On false, the cached response is removed.
- Default: null
- You can delete the cache by using
localStorage.clear()
. - Note that you can pre-load content with this plugin. You just have do to the same AJAX request without a success callback and the same cacheKey.
