HTTP caching

Most of JavaScript runtimes except browsers don’t respect HTTP caching headers by default. But you can enable HTTP caching in your Hive Gateway by using the HTTP caching plugin. This allows you to cache the responses when possible, and reduce the server load. It uses http-cache-semantics under the hood.

It is useful when you use it with Yoga’s Response Caching or Apollo Server’s Response Caching.

import { defineConfig, useHttpCache } from '@graphql-hive/gateway'

export const gatewayConfig = defineConfig({
  cache // Your cache storage here,
  plugins: pluginCtx => [
    useHttpCache({
      ...pluginCtx
    })
  ]
})
