umbral_cache/
cache_page.rs

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