resource_cache

resource_cache is a Dart library for retrieving, caching and managing remote HTTP resources. The library makes it simple to cache remote files localy, and is particularly useful for loading and displaying images retrieved from the web.

Usage

import "dart:io";
import "package:resource_cache/resource_cache.dart";

void main() async {

  //Directory that the cache directory will be created within.
  Directory d = Directory.systemTemp;

  //create the cache, passing in the root directory.
  var cache = ResourceCache(d);

  //Url to retrieve
  var url = "http://mikechambers.com/blog/images/posts/twitchlivefirefox/screenshot.png";

  //This returns a Uri. It will be a file:/ uri if the file was already cached, or
  //succesfully cached.
  //It the original Uri if there was an error, or the file could not be cached.
  var uri = await cache.retrieve(url);

  print(uri);
}
