v0.0.1
01/27/2011
A jQuery plugin to set up memoized Ajax calls to improve performance when fetching static resources via Ajax.
Call the function via jQuery.cachedAjax and supply it with a configuration object that you would normally use with jQuery.ajax (save for the data). It then returns a function that you call with a data object every time you wish to make a request.
Example usage:
var search = jQuery.cachedAjax({
url : '/search',
type : 'get',
success : function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
When you call search({ q : "test" }) an Ajax request is made. If it is successful, the result is stored in an array and your success callback is triggered with the data (with only the data).
A repeated call of search({ q : "test" }) will simply call the success callback with the data stored in the array, no Ajax call is needed.
To clear the cache, simply call search.clearCache()
