Class: CacheURI

@divine/uri.CacheURI

The cache: protocol handler can be used to store (large and small) temporary files on disk.

A cached file will be automatically pruned after 1 hour, if remove has not been called manually.

Methods

$

$(strings, ...values): URI

Constructs a new URI, relative to this URI, from a template string, percent-encoding all arguments.

Example:

const base = new URI('http://api.example.com/v1/');
const info = await base.$`items/${item}/info`.load();

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
stringsTemplateStringsArrayThe template string array.
...valuesunknown[]The values to be encoded.

Returns

URI

[asyncIterator]

[asyncIterator](): AsyncIterator<Buffer, any, undefined> & Metadata

All URIs are AsyncIterable<Buffer>. This method implements that interface by calling load(stream).

Returns

AsyncIterator<Buffer, any, undefined> & Metadata

An AsyncIterator<Buffer> stream.

Inherited from

URI.[asyncIterator]

Defined in

uri/src/uri.ts:535

addSelector

addSelector<T>(selector): CacheURI

Adds a new selector to this URI.

Selectors is a way to specify in what situations some kind of parameters or configuration is valid. When some kind of configuration is required (such as authentication of connection parameters), all registered selectors are evaluated and based on the matching score, the best selector is chosen. The more specific a selector is, the higher the score it will receive if it matches.

Based on this, it's possible to limit the scope of credentials or to configure certain HTTP headers to be sent to a specific set of servers.

It's also perfectly valid not to specify a selector for some kind of parameters. As long as there is only one kind of this configuration, it will apply unconditionally.

Throws

TypeError If the selector to add is invalid.

Type parameters

NameType
Textends AuthSelector | HeadersSelector | ParamsSelector | SessionSelector

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
selectorTThe selector to add.

Returns

CacheURI

This URI.

Inherited from

URI.addSelector

Defined in

append

append<T, D>(data, sendCT?, recvCT?): Promise<T & Metadata>

See append.

Type parameters

Textends object
Dunknown

Parameters

NameType
dataD
sendCT?string | ContentType
recvCT?undefined

Returns

Promise<T & Metadata>

Overrides

URI.append

Defined in

uri/src/protocols/cache.ts:96


close

close(): Promise<void>

Closes this URI and frees any temporary resources in use.

URIs are usually stateless, but some protocols may use a connection pool, and this method can be used to shut down the pool and all remaining connections that may otherwise prevent the process from exiting.

Returns

Promise<void>

Inherited from

URI.close

Defined in

uri/src/uri.ts:525


info

info<T>(): Promise<T & Metadata>

See info.

Type parameters

NameType
Textends DirectoryEntry

Returns

Promise<T & Metadata>

Overrides

URI.info

Defined in

uri/src/protocols/cache.ts:81


list

list<T>(): Promise<T[] & Metadata>

This method will return information about this URI's children/subresources, if the subclass supports it.

The actual operation depends on what kind of URI this is. See info for a common example.

Throws

IOError On I/O errors or if the subclass does not support this method.

Type parameters

NameTypeDescription
Textends DirectoryEntryThe actual type of information record returned. Must extend DirectoryEntry.

Returns

Promise<T[] & Metadata>

An array of information record describing the subresources.

Inherited from

URI.list

Defined in

load

load<T>(recvCT?): Promise<T & Metadata>

See load.

Type parameters

NameType
Textends object

Parameters

NameType
recvCT?string | ContentType

Returns

Promise<T & Metadata>

Overrides

URI.load

Defined in

uri/src/protocols/cache.ts:86


modify

modify<T, D>(data, sendCT?, recvCT?): Promise<T & Metadata>

Modifies/patches data the resource this URI references, if the subclass supports it.

The actual operation depends on what kind of URI this is. See modify or modify for two common examples.

See parse for details about the returned object (never a primitive). You may always set recvCT to ContentType.bytes to receive a Node.js Buffer and ContentType.stream for an AsyncIterable<Buffer> stream, if you prefer raw data.

Throws

IOError On I/O errors or if the subclass does not support this method.

Throws

ParserError If the media type is unsupported or the parser fails to parse the response.

Type parameters

NameTypeDescription
Textends objectThe actual type returned.
DunknownThe type of patch data to apply.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
dataDThe patch data to apply.
sendCT?string | ContentTypeOverride the default data serializer.
recvCT?string | ContentTypeOverride the default response parser.

Returns

Promise<T & Metadata>

If the operation produced a result, it will be parsed as recvCT into an object, including MetaData.

Inherited from

URI.modify

Defined in

uri/src/uri.ts:460


query

query<T>(...args): Promise<T & Metadata>

A generic method that sends/applies some kind of query to the resource and returns a response.

The actual operation depends on what kind of URI this is. See query or query for two common examples.

Throws

IOError On I/O errors or if the subclass does not support this method.

Throws

ParserError If the media type is unsupported or the parser fails to parse the response.

Type parameters

NameTypeDescription
Textends objectThe actual type returned.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
...argsunknown[]Depends on the subclass.

Returns

Promise<T & Metadata>
