Fastify plugin to disable client-side caching

Intro

Inspired by nocache, the fastify-disablecache plugin sets the following response headers and values to disable client-side caching:

Surrogate-Control: no-store
Cache-Control: no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: 0

You can read more about these response headers on MDN here.

This plugin was created out of a need for an easy way to disable client-side caching for data received from backend APIs at Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This ensures patient data is always current when called by applications.

Installation

Install using npm:

npm install fastify-disablecache

Or yarn:

yarn add fastify-disablecache

fastify-disablecache's test scripts use npm commands.

Example Usage

const Fastify = require("fastify");
const disableCache = require("fastify-disablecache");

const server = Fastify();
server.register(disableCache);

server.get("/", (req, res) => {
    res.send("ok");
});

server.listen(3000);
