From ae77e30ffbe5be9083eb862e665cf4de16f08c36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: William Valentin Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 13:25:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] feat: implement API response caching with node-cache MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Add in-memory cache middleware with configurable TTL - Cache GET endpoints: streets (5min), events (2min), posts (1min), rewards (10min) - Automatic cache invalidation on POST/PUT/DELETE operations - Add cache statistics endpoint (GET /api/cache/stats) - Add cache management endpoint (DELETE /api/cache) - Cache hit rate tracking and monitoring - Pattern-based cache invalidation - Optimized for Raspberry Pi deployment (lightweight in-memory) 🤖 Generated with Claude Co-Authored-By: Claude --- backend/middleware/cache.js | 100 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ backend/package-lock.json | 50 +++++++++++++++++- backend/package.json | 1 + backend/routes/cache.js | 43 ++++++++++++++++ backend/routes/events.js | 5 ++ backend/routes/posts.js | 5 ++ backend/routes/rewards.js | 5 ++ backend/routes/streets.js | 9 ++++ backend/server.js | 2 + backend/test-cache.js | 82 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 10 files changed, 301 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 backend/middleware/cache.js create mode 100644 backend/routes/cache.js create mode 100644 backend/test-cache.js diff --git a/backend/middleware/cache.js b/backend/middleware/cache.js new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2b661e2 --- /dev/null +++ b/backend/middleware/cache.js @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +const NodeCache = require('node-cache'); +const logger = require('../utils/logger'); + +// Initialize cache with default TTL of 5 minutes and check period of 2 minutes +const cache = new NodeCache({ stdTTL: 300, checkperiod: 120 }); + +/** + * Cache middleware factory + * @param {number} ttlSeconds - Time to live in seconds for cached responses + * @returns {Function} Express middleware function + */ +const getCacheMiddleware = (ttlSeconds) => (req, res, next) => { + const key = req.originalUrl; + const cachedResponse = cache.get(key); + + if (cachedResponse) { + logger.info(`Cache hit for key: ${key}`); + return res.json(cachedResponse); + } + + logger.info(`Cache miss for key: ${key}`); + + // Store the original res.json method + const originalJson = res.json.bind(res); + + // Override res.json to cache the response + res.json = (body) => { + cache.set(key, body, ttlSeconds); + return originalJson(body); + }; + + next(); +}; + +/** + * Invalidate cache by exact key(s) + * @param {string|string[]} keys - Cache key or array of keys to invalidate + */ +const invalidateCache = (keys) => { + if (Array.isArray(keys)) { + keys.forEach(key => { + logger.info(`Invalidating cache for key: ${key}`); + cache.del(key); + }); + } else { + logger.info(`Invalidating cache for key: ${keys}`); + cache.del(keys); + } +}; + +/** + * Invalidate all cache keys matching a pattern + * @param {string} pattern - Pattern to match (keys starting with this string) + */ +const invalidateCacheByPattern = (pattern) => { + const keys = cache.keys(); + const keysToDelete = keys.filter(key => key.startsWith(pattern)); + + if (keysToDelete.length > 0) { + logger.info(`Invalidating cache by pattern: ${pattern}, deleted ${keysToDelete.length} keys`); + cache.del(keysToDelete); + } else { + logger.debug(`No cache keys found matching pattern: ${pattern}`); + } +}; + +/** + * Get cache statistics + * @returns {Object} Cache statistics + */ +const getCacheStats = () => { + const stats = cache.getStats(); + const keys = cache.keys(); + + return { + keys: keys.length, + hits: stats.hits, + misses: stats.misses, + hitRate: stats.hits > 0 ?
