###* Caching and preloading ====================== All HTTP requests go through the Up.js proxy. It caches a [limited](/up.proxy#up.proxy.defaults) number of server responses for a [limited](/up.proxy#up.proxy.defaults) amount of time, making requests to these URLs return insantly. The cache is cleared whenever the user makes a non-`GET` request (like `POST`, `PUT` or `DELETE`). The proxy can also used to speed up reaction times by preloading links when the user hovers over the click area (or puts the mouse/finger down before releasing). This way the response will already be cached when the user performs the click. Spinners --------- You can listen to [framework events](/up.bus) to implement a spinner (progress indicator) that appears during a long-running request, and disappears once the response has been received:
Please wait!
Here is the Javascript to make it alive: up.compiler('.spinner', function($element) { show = function() { $element.show() }; hide = function() { $element.hide() }; up.bus.on('proxy:busy', show); up.bus.on('proxy:idle', hide); return function() { up.bus.off('proxy:busy', show); up.bus.off('proxy:idle', hide); }; }); The `proxy:busy` event will be emitted after a delay of 300 ms to prevent the spinner from flickering on and off. You can change (or remove) this delay like this: up.proxy.defaults({ busyDelay: 150 }); @class up.proxy ### up.proxy = (-> u = up.util $waitingLink = undefined preloadDelayTimer = undefined busyDelayTimer = undefined pendingCount = undefined busyEventEmitted = undefined ###* @method up.proxy.defaults @param {Number} [options.preloadDelay=75] The number of milliseconds to wait before [`[up-preload]`](#up-preload) starts preloading. @param {Number} [options.cacheSize=70] The maximum number of responses to cache. If the size is exceeded, the oldest items will be dropped from the cache. @param {Number} [options.cacheExpiry=300000] The number of milliseconds until a cache entry expires. Defaults to 5 minutes. @param {Number} [options.busyDelay=300] How long the proxy waits until emitting the `proxy:busy` [event](/up.bus). Use this to prevent flickering of spinners. ### config = u.config busyDelay: 300 preloadDelay: 75 cacheSize: 70 cacheExpiry: 1000 * 60 * 5 cacheKey = (request) -> normalizeRequest(request) [ request.url, request.method, request.data, request.selector ].join('|') cache = u.cache size: -> config.cacheSize expiry: -> config.cacheExpiry key: cacheKey log: 'up.proxy' ###* @protected @method up.proxy.get ### get = cache.get ###* @protected @method up.proxy.set ### set = cache.set ###* @protected @method up.proxy.remove ### remove = cache.remove ###* @protected @method up.proxy.clear ### clear = cache.clear cancelPreloadDelay = -> clearTimeout(preloadDelayTimer) preloadDelayTimer = null cancelBusyDelay = -> clearTimeout(busyDelayTimer) busyDelayTimer = null reset = -> $waitingLink = null cancelPreloadDelay() cancelBusyDelay() pendingCount = 0 config.reset() busyEventEmitted = false cache.clear() reset() alias = cache.alias normalizeRequest = (request) -> unless request._normalized request.method = u.normalizeMethod(request.method) request.url = u.normalizeUrl(request.url) if request.url request.selector ||= 'body' request._normalized = true request ###* Makes a request to the given URL and caches the response. If the response was already cached, returns the HTML instantly. If requesting a URL that is not read-only, the response will not be cached and the entire cache will be cleared. Only requests with a method of `GET`, `OPTIONS` and `HEAD` are considered to be read-only. If a network connection is attempted, the proxy will emit a `proxy:load` event with the `request` as its argument. Once the response is received, a `proxy:receive` event will be emitted. @method up.proxy.ajax @param {String} request.url @param {String} [request.method='GET'] @param {String} [request.selector] @param {Boolean} [request.cache] Whether to use a cached response, if available.
