Use the Cache API

Use the Cache API to store R2 objects in Cloudflare's cache.

export default {
  async fetch(request, env, context) {
    try {
      const url = new URL(request.url);


      // Construct the cache key from the cache URL
      const cacheKey = new Request(url.toString(), request);
      const cache = caches.default;


      // Check whether the value is already available in the cache
      // if not, you will need to fetch it from R2, and store it in the cache
      // for future access
      let response = await cache.match(cacheKey);


      if (response) {
        console.log(`Cache hit for: ${request.url}.`);
        return response;
      }


      console.log(
        `Response for request url: ${request.url} not present in cache. Fetching and caching request.`
      );


      // If not in cache, get it from R2
      const objectKey = url.pathname.slice(1);
      const object = await env.MY_BUCKET.get(objectKey);
      if (object === null) {
        return new Response('Object Not Found', { status: 404 });
      }


      // Set the appropriate object headers
      const headers = new Headers();
      object.writeHttpMetadata(headers);
      headers.set('etag', object.httpEtag);


      // Cache API respects Cache-Control headers. Setting s-max-age to 10
      // will limit the response to be in cache for 10 seconds max
      // Any changes made to the response here will be reflected in the cached value
      headers.append('Cache-Control', 's-maxage=10');


      response = new Response(object.body, {
        headers,
      });


      // Store the fetched response as cacheKey
      // Use waitUntil so you can return the response without blocking on
      // writing to cache
      context.waitUntil(cache.put(cacheKey, response.clone()));


      return response;
    } catch (e) {
      return new Response('Error thrown ' + e.message);
    }
  },
};
