The `number` represents milliseconds. + +###### opts.automaticFailover + +Type: `boolean`<br> +Default: `false` + +When set to `true`, if the DB connection fails we will automatically fallback to a network request.

If the response could be retrieved from the cache, it will perform a new request and override the cache instead. + +##### cb + +Type: `function` + +The callback function which will receive the response as an argument. + +The response can be either a [Node.js HTTP response stream](https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_class_http_incomingmessage) or a [responselike object](https://github.com/lukechilds/responselike). The response will also have a `fromCache` property set with a boolean value. + +##### .on('request', request) + +`request` event to get the request object of the request. + +**Note:** This event will only fire if an HTTP request is actually made, not when a response is retrieved from cache. However, you should always handle the `request` event to end the request and handle any potential request errors. + +##### .on('response', response) + +`response` event to get the response object from the HTTP request or cache. + +##### .on('error', error) + +`error` event emitted in case of an error with the cache. + +Errors emitted here will be an instance of `CacheableRequest.RequestError` or `CacheableRequest.CacheError`. You will only ever receive a `RequestError` if the request function throws (normally caused by invalid user input). Normal request errors should be handled inside the `request` event. + +To properly handle all error scenarios you should use the following pattern: + +```js +cacheableRequest('example.com', cb) + .on('error', err => { + if (err instanceof CacheableRequest.CacheError) { + handleCacheError(err); // Cache error + } else if (err instanceof CacheableRequest.RequestError) { + handleRequestError(err); // Request function thrown + } + }) + .on('request', req => { + req.on('error', handleRequestError); // Request error emitted + req.end(); + }); +``` + +**Note:** Database connection errors are emitted here, however `cacheable-request` will attempt to re-request the resource and bypass the cache on a connection error. Therefore a database connection error doesn't necessarily mean the request won't be fulfilled. + +## License + +MIT © Luke Childs |
