Struct DriveCache 

pub struct DriveCache { /* private fields */ }

Provides an HTTP cache layer backed by a SIMD R Drive data store.

Implementations

impl DriveCache

pub fn new(cache_storage_file: &Path, policy: CachePolicy) -> Self

Creates a new cache backed by a file-based data store.

Arguments

• cache_storage_file - Path to the file where cached responses are stored.
• policy - Configuration specifying cache expiration behavior.

Panics

This function will panic if the DataStore fails to initialize.

pub fn with_drive_arc(store: Arc<DataStore>, policy: CachePolicy) -> Self

Creates a new cache using an existing Arc<DataStore>.

This allows sharing the cache store across multiple components.

Arguments

• store - A shared Arc<DataStore> instance.
• policy - Cache expiration configuration.

pub async fn is_cached(&self, req: &Request) -> bool

Checks whether a request is cached and still valid.

This method retrieves the cache entry associated with the request and determines if it is still within its valid TTL.

Arguments

• req - The HTTP request to check for a cached response.

Returns

Returns true if the request has a valid cached response; otherwise, false.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for DriveCache

fn clone(&self) -> DriveCache

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Middleware for DriveCache

fn handle<'life0, 'life1, 'life2, 'async_trait>( &'life0 self, req: Request, extensions: &'life1 mut Extensions, next: Next<'life2>, ) -> Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<Response>> + Send + 'async_trait>>

where Self: 'async_trait, 'life0: 'async_trait, 'life1: 'async_trait, 'life2: 'async_trait,

Intercepts HTTP requests to apply caching behavior.

This method first checks if a valid cached response exists for the incoming request.

• If a cached response is found and still valid, it is returned immediately.
• If no cache entry exists, the request is forwarded to the next middleware or backend.
• If a response is received, it is cached according to the defined CachePolicy.

This middleware only caches GET and HEAD requests. Other HTTP methods are passed through without caching.

Arguments

• req - The incoming HTTP request.
• extensions - A mutable reference to request extensions, which may store metadata.
• next - The next middleware in the processing chain.

Returns

A Result<Response, reqwest_middleware::Error> that contains either:

• A cached response (if available).
• A fresh response from the backend, which is then cached (if applicable).

Behavior

• If the request is already cached and valid, returns the cached response.
• If no cache is found, the request is sent to the backend, and the response is cached.
• If the cache has expired, the old entry is deleted, and a fresh request is made.
