###** AJAX acceleration ================= Unpoly comes with a number of tricks to shorten the latency between browser and server. \#\#\# Server responses are cached by default Unpoly caches server responses for a few minutes, making requests to these URLs return instantly. All Unpoly functions and selectors go through this cache, unless you explicitly pass a `{ cache: false }` option or set an `up-cache="false"` attribute. The cache holds up to 70 responses for 5 minutes. You can configure the cache size and expiry using [`up.proxy.config`](/up.proxy.config), or clear the cache manually using [`up.proxy.clear()`](/up.proxy.clear). Also the entire cache is cleared with every non-`GET` request (like `POST` or `PUT`). If you need to make cache-aware requests from your [custom JavaScript](/up.syntax), use [`up.request()`](/up.request). \#\#\# Preloading links Unpoly also lets you speed up reaction times by [preloading links](/a-up-preload) when the user hovers over the click area (or puts the mouse/finger down). This way the response will already be cached when the user releases the mouse/finger. \#\#\# Spinners You can listen to the [`up:proxy:slow`](/up:proxy:slow) event to implement a spinner that appears during a long-running request. \#\#\# More acceleration Other Unpoly modules contain even more tricks to outsmart network latency: - [Instantaneous feedback for links that are currently loading](/a.up-active) - [Follow links on `mousedown` instead of `click`](/a-up-instant) @module up.proxy ### up.proxy = do -> u = up.util e = up.element waitingLink = undefined preloadDelayTimer = undefined slowDelayTimer = undefined pendingCount = undefined slowEventEmitted = undefined queuedLoaders = [] ###** @property up.proxy.config @param {number} [config.preloadDelay=75] The number of milliseconds to wait before [`[up-preload]`](/a-up-preload) starts preloading. @param {number} [config.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} [config.cacheExpiry=300000] The number of milliseconds until a cache entry expires. Defaults to 5 minutes. @param {number} [config.slowDelay=300] How long the proxy waits until emitting the [`up:proxy:slow` event](/up:proxy:slow). Use this to prevent flickering of spinners. @param {number} [config.maxRequests=4] The maximum number of concurrent requests to allow before additional requests are queued. This currently ignores preloading requests. You might find it useful to set this to `1` in full-stack integration tests (e.g. Selenium). Note that your browser might [impose its own request limit](http://www.browserscope.org/?category=network) regardless of what you configure here. @param {Array} [config.wrapMethods] An array of uppercase HTTP method names. AJAX requests with one of these methods will be converted into a `POST` request and carry their original method as a `_method` parameter. This is to [prevent unexpected redirect behavior](https://makandracards.com/makandra/38347). @param {Array} [config.safeMethods] An array of uppercase HTTP method names that are considered [safe](https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.1.1). The proxy cache will only cache safe requests and will clear the entire cache after an unsafe request. @stable ### config = new up.Config slowDelay: 300 preloadDelay: 75 cacheSize: 70 cacheExpiry: 1000 * 60 * 5 maxRequests: 4 wrapMethods: ['PATCH', 'PUT', 'DELETE'] safeMethods: ['GET', 'OPTIONS', 'HEAD'] cache = new up.Cache size: -> config.cacheSize expiry: -> config.cacheExpiry key: (request) -> up.Request.wrap(request).cacheKey() cachable: (request) -> up.Request.wrap(request).isCachable() # logPrefix: 'up.proxy' ###** Returns a cached response for the given request.

If requesting a URL with a non-`GET` method, the response will not be cached and the entire cache will be cleared. You can configure caching with the [`up.proxy.config`](/up.proxy.config) property. \#\#\# Events If a network connection is attempted, the proxy will emit a [`up:proxy:load`](/up:proxy:load) event with the `request` as its argument. Once the response is received, a [`up:proxy:loaded`](/up:proxy:loaded) event will be emitted. @function up.request @param {string} [url] The URL for the request.

By default Unpoly will wait 300 ms for an AJAX request to finish before emitting `up:proxy:slow`. You can configure this time like this: up.proxy.config.slowDelay = 150; Once all responses have been received, an [`up:proxy:recover`](/up:proxy:recover) will be emitted. Note that if additional requests are made while Unpoly is already busy waiting, **no** additional `up:proxy:slow` events will be triggered. \#\#\# Spinners You can [listen](/up.on) to the `up:proxy:slow` and [`up:proxy:recover`](/up:proxy:recover) events to implement a spinner 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 = () => { up.element.show(element) } hide = () => { up.element.hide(element) } hide() return [ up.on('up:proxy:slow', show), up.on('up:proxy:recover', hide) ] }) The `up:proxy:slow` 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 by [configuring `up.proxy`](/up.proxy.config) like this: up.proxy.config.slowDelay = 150; @event up:proxy:slow @stable ### loadEnded = -> pendingCount -= 1 if isIdle() cancelSlowDelay() if slowEventEmitted up.emit('up:proxy:recover', log: 'Proxy has recovered from slow response') slowEventEmitted = false ###** This event is [emitted](/up.emit) when [AJAX requests](/up.request) have [taken long to finish](/up:proxy:slow), but have finished now.
