umbral_cache/
cache_page.rs

1//! View-level caching middleware — the Rust equivalent of Django's
2//! `@cache_page(seconds)` decorator.
3//!
4//! Wrap a [`Router`] subtree with [`cache_page`] and every eligible
5//! `GET` or `HEAD` response for that subtree is cached for the
6//! configured TTL. Subsequent requests for the same URI + query string
7//! get the cached response without hitting the handler.
8//!
9//! ```ignore
10//! use umbral_cache::cache_page;
11//! use std::time::Duration;
12//!
13//! let public = Router::new()
14//!     .route("/", get(home))
15//!     .route("/about", get(about))
16//!     .layer(cache_page(Duration::from_secs(60)));
17//! ```
18//!
19//! ## Cache key
20//!
21//! `cache:page:GET:<host>:/path?query` — method + Host header + full URI
22//! including query string.  Fragments are stripped by the browser and never
23//! reach the server.  Including the Host header prevents multi-tenant
24//! cache-poisoning where tenant A's cached page would otherwise be served to
25//! requests arriving on a different Host.
26//!
27//! ## What gets cached
28//!
29//! Only `GET` and `HEAD` responses with HTTP status **200** are stored.
30//! The following bypass caching:
31//! - Any method other than `GET` / `HEAD` (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).
32//! - Status code other than 200.
33//! - Response carries `Cache-Control: no-store`.
34//! - Response carries a `Set-Cookie` header (the body may be personalised).
35//! - Request carries an `umbral_session` cookie — personalised / logged-in
36//!   requests are neither served from nor written to the page cache, keeping
37//!   the cache to the safe anonymous-only subset.
38//!
39//! ## Ambient cache dependency
40//!
41//! [`cache_page`] reads the ambient [`super::Cache`] via [`super::ambient()`].
42//! If the ambient cache has not been initialised (i.e. [`super::CachePlugin::init`]
43//! has not been called), cache misses and stores are silently skipped —
44//! the handler always fires normally. This is intentional: a misconfigured
45//! cache degrades gracefully rather than returning 500s.
46//!
47//! ## Deferred
48//!
49//! - ETag / 304 conditional caching — the current implementation always
50//!   serves the full cached body. A future iteration will store and compare
51//!   ETags to emit 304 Not Modified, saving bandwidth.
52//! - Vary-header awareness (`Vary: Accept-Language`, etc.).
53//! - Per-route cache key prefix customisation.
