http_client_cache 1.0.4

Dart package that seamlessly adds HTTP traffic caching to improve performance and reduce network load in Dart and Flutter applications.

1.0.4

Bug Fixes

• 🐛 Fixed Response Processing Logic: Error responses (4xx, 5xx) are now skipped early in onResponse()
• ⚡ Improved Performance: Eliminated unnecessary cache processing for error responses
• 🛡️ Reduced Resource Usage: Stream splitting and cache logic no longer run on failed requests

Technical Improvements

• 🎯 Early Status Code Check: Non-successful responses are filtered out immediately after 304 handling
• 🔧 Cleaner Code Path: Removed duplicate status code checks and redundant processing
• 📊 Better Resource Management: Only successful responses (200 OK) and cache revalidations (304) are processed

What Changed

• Error responses like 403 Forbidden, 404 Not Found, 500 Internal Server Error no longer trigger cache processing
• Stream splitting only occurs for responses that will actually be cached
• Cache headers are only parsed for responses that could be cached

1.0.3

Improvements

• 🚨 Enhanced Stale Content Logging: Added specific log messages for stale-while-revalidate and stale-if-error scenarios
• 📖 Improved Documentation: Updated README with comprehensive debugging section and stale-if-error feature documentation

New Logger Messages

• Serving stale content while revalidating for https://api.example.com/data - Shows when stale-while-revalidate is active
• Serving stale content due to network error for https://api.example.com/data - Shows when stale-if-error provides fallback

Technical Improvements

• 🔍 Better Cache Visibility: Developers can now see exactly when and why stale content is being served
• 🛡️ Resilience Insights: Clear indication when cache provides error recovery through stale content
• 📊 Performance Transparency: Understand when background revalidation occurs

1.0.2

Improvements

• 📝 Enhanced Logger Messages: Made all cache logging messages consistent, developer-friendly, and informative
• 🔗 Added Request URLs: All logger messages now include the request URL for better debugging context
• 🎯 Consistent Message Style: Unified tone and format across all cache-related log messages

Logger Message Examples

• Cache hit for https://api.example.com/data
• Cache miss for https://api.example.com/data
• Cache entry expired for https://api.example.com/data
• Skipping cache for private response: https://api.example.com/data
• Skipping cache due to no-store directive: https://api.example.com/data
• Skipping cache due to Vary: * header: https://api.example.com/data

Technical Improvements

• 🛠️ Better Debugging Experience: Easier to track cache behavior per URL
• 📊 Improved Error Context: Cache write failures now include request URLs
• 🎨 Cleaner Message Format: Removed redundant text and improved readability

1.0.1

• add noCache and noStore boolean parameters to CacheControl factory constructors to preserve important cache directives when transforming response headers
• update libs and protobuf Dart files

1.0.0

• Initial version.
