TransferHttpCacheModule

TransferHttpCacheModule installs an Http interceptor that avoids duplicate HttpClient GET requests on the client, for requests that were already made when the application was rendered on the server side.

When the module is installed in the application NgModule, it will intercept HttpClient requests on the server and store the response in the TransferState key-value store. This is transferred to the client, which then uses it to respond to the same HttpClient requests on the client.

Any requests other than GET will prevent any further requests. You may alternatively use BrowserTransferStateModule to write your own behaviour for caching information.

Usage

To use the TransferHttpCacheModule, first install it as part of the top-level App module.

import {TransferHttpCacheModule} from '@nguniversal/common';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule.withServerTransition({appId: 'my-app'}),
    TransferHttpCacheModule,
  ],
  bootstrap: [MyApp]
})
export class AppBrowserModule() {}

Then, import ServerTransferStateModule in your Server module.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { ServerModule, ServerTransferStateModule } from '@angular/platform-server';

import { AppModule } from './app.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  imports: [AppModule, ServerModule, ServerTransferStateModule],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppServerModule {}

Finally, in main.ts change this:

...

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppBrowserModule);

To this:

...

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
  platformBrowserDynamic()
    .bootstrapModule(AppBrowserModule)
    .catch(err => console.log(err));
});
