Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

noCache

✓ import noCache from 'koa-no-cache'

✗ const { default: noCache } = require('koa-no-cache')

ES module import is recommended; if using CommonJS, use `const noCache = require('koa-no-cache')`.

noCache

✓ const noCache = require('koa-no-cache')

✗ const { noCache } = require('koa-no-cache')

Default export, not a named export.

Creates a Koa app and applies no-cache headers for paths starting with /api/ and for JSON/HTML responses.

import Koa from 'koa'; import noCache from 'koa-no-cache'; const app = new Koa(); app.use(noCache({ paths: ['/api/(.*)'], types: ['json', 'html'] })); app.listen(3000); console.log('Server running on port 3000');

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe `paths` option uses path-to-regexp syntax, not simple globs.

fix

Ensure path patterns follow path-to-regexp format, e.g., '/users/:id'.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedPackage is no longer actively maintained; last update in 2018.

fix

Consider forking or using alternatives like koa-conditional-get or koa-etag.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThe `types` option uses type-is module; ensure correct MIME types.

fix

Provide correct MIME types such as 'text/html', 'application/json'.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaMiddleware must be added after response body is set; otherwise headers may not apply.

fix

Place middleware after routes or other middleware that sets response content.

affects: >=1.0.0
