Cache examples - bunny.net Documentation

Quickstart

This example caches an HTML page at the edge, then rewrites part of it per request from a query parameter.

import * as BunnySDK from "@bunny.net/edgescript-sdk";

BunnySDK.net.http.serve(
  async (request: Request): Response | Promise<Response> => {
    const url = new URL(request.url);
    const now = new Date();
    const expires = new Date(now.getTime() + 60 * 1000); // + 1min

    try {
      const cache = await caches.open("cache:v1");

      // 1. check to see if we already have a cache entry
      let res = await cache.match(`${url.origin}/example.html`);

      // 2. if we don't, create one and put it into the cache for 60 seconds
      if (!res) {
        res = new Response(
          `<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><p>Hello <span id="name"></span></p><ul><li>created at: ${now.toISOString()}</li><li>expires at: ${expires.toISOString()}</li></ul></body></html>`,
          {
            headers: {
              "Cache-Control": "max-age=60",
              "Content-Type": "text/html; charset=utf-8",
            },
          },
        );
        await cache.put(`${url.origin}/example.html`, res.clone());
      }

      // 3. modify the contents
      const content = new HTMLRewriter()
        .on("span", {
          element(el) {
            el.setInnerContent(
              url.searchParams.get("name") ??
                "Nameless User (use ?name= to define this)",
            );
          },
        })
        .transform(res);

      // 3. return modified contents to the user
      return new Response(await content.text(), {
        headers: {
          "Cache-Control": "no-cache",
          "Content-Type": "text/html; charset=utf-8",
        },
      });
    } catch (error) {
      return new Response(`Error: ${error.message}`, {
        status: 500,
      });
    }
  },
);

Updating a cache in middleware

This example writes to the cache from middleware when the incoming request is a POST, and reads the entry back from a standalone script.

import * as BunnySDK from "@bunny.net/edgescript-sdk";

async function onOriginRequest(context: {
  request: Request;
}): Promise<Response> | Response | Promise<Request> | Request | void {
  const now = new Date();

  try {
    const cache = await caches.open("cache:v1");

    if (context.request.method == "POST") {
      const res = new Response(`Content from POST: ${now.toISOString()}`, {
        headers: {
          "Cache-Control": "max-age=3600",
          "Content-Type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8",
        },
      });

      Bunny.v1.waitUntil(cache.put(context.request, res));
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
}

BunnySDK.net.http.servePullZone().onOriginRequest(onOriginRequest);

import * as BunnySDK from "@bunny.net/edgescript-sdk";

BunnySDK.net.http.serve(
  async (request: Request): Response | Promise<Response> => {
    try {
      const cache = await caches.open("cache:v1");

      let res = await cache.match(request);

      if (!res) {
        const res = Response(await "Content from GET", {
          headers: {
            "Cache-Control": "no-cache",
            "Content-Type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8",
          },
        });
      }

      return res;
    } catch (error) {
      return new Response(`Error: ${error.message}`, {
        status: 500,
      });
    }
  },
);

Refresh and purge a cached value on demand

Expose a single URL that serves a cached JSON payload on GET, regenerates it on POST, and clears it on DELETE. Useful for cache-warming endpoints, manual invalidation hooks, or scheduled refreshes from an upstream job.

import * as BunnySDK from "@bunny.net/edgescript-sdk@0.12.0";

BunnySDK.net.http.serve(async (request: Request): Promise<Response> => {
  const url = new URL(request.url);
  const cache = caches.default;

  // Share one key across all three methods by normalizing the request to a
  // GET on the same URL.
  const cacheKey = new Request(url.toString(), { method: "GET" });

  try {
    if (request.method === "POST") {
      const fresh = Response.json(
        {
          generatedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
          random: Math.random(),
        },
        {
          headers: { "Cache-Control": "s-maxage=60" },
        },
      );

      await cache.put(cacheKey, fresh.clone());

      return new Response(`Cached "${cacheKey.url}" for 60s`, {
        headers: { "Cache-Control": "no-cache" },
      });
    }

    if (request.method === "GET") {
      const hit = await cache.match(cacheKey);
      if (hit) {
        return hit;
      }

      return new Response(
        "No cached value yet. POST to this URL to generate one.",
        { status: 404, headers: { "Cache-Control": "no-cache" } },
      );
    }

    if (request.method === "DELETE") {
      const deleted = await cache.delete(cacheKey);

      return new Response(
        deleted
          ? `Purged "${cacheKey.url}"`
          : `Nothing to purge for "${cacheKey.url}"`,
        {
          status: deleted ? 200 : 404,
          headers: { "Cache-Control": "no-cache" },
        },
      );
    }

    return new Response("Method Not Allowed", {
      status: 405,
      headers: {
        "Allow": "GET, POST, DELETE",
        "Cache-Control": "no-cache",
      },
    });
  } catch (e) {
    return new Response(`Cache error: ${(e as Error).message}`, { status: 500 });
  }
});

The POST handler awaits cache.put() so the acknowledgement reflects that the value actually landed. For fire-and-forget refreshes, wrap it with Bunny.v1.waitUntil(cache.put(cacheKey, fresh.clone())) and return the ack immediately.
