Description:

http cache flutterized

A convienience package for caching http requests #
http_cache_flutter is a small package that makes it a little bit easier to cache http requests. To use it you also need the http package.
Using it is very easy:
import 'package:http_cache/src/http_chache.dart';
import 'package:http/http.dart' as http;

//jsonplaceholder is an api that returns jsonplaceholders
const url = 'https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users';

void main(List<String> args) async {
// first we initialize the cache
await HttpCache.init();

//we define the httpRequest
final request = http.Request('GET', Uri.parse(url));
//cacheGet returns a http.Response so you cant treat it like a regular http request
final response = await HttpCache.cacheGet(request);
//for me this call takes around 100 ms

//if it is called a second time in your app it will get the cached response instead
await HttpCache.cacheGet(request);
//for me this call finished in 4 ms

//to remove cached data associated with a url call [removeCache]
HttpCache.removeCache(url);
}

The package uses the hive package to store and retrieve data.
This is the package that is modified for flutter. For the dart package see http_cache~
