defmodule Plug.CacheControl do
  @moduledoc """
  A plug for overwriting the default `cache-control` header. The plug supports
  all the response header directives defined in [RFC7234, section
  5.2.2](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7234#section-5.2.2).

  The plug takes a `directives` option which can specify either *static* or
  *dynamic* header directives. Static directives are useful when you don't need
  per-request directives. Static directives are defined very similarly to a
  struct's key.

      plug Plug.CacheControl, directives: [:public, max_age: {1, :hour}]

  As seen in the above example, directive names with hyphens are mapped to atoms
  by replacing the hyphens with underscores.

  Boolean directives like `public`, `private`, `must-revalidate`, `no-store` and
  so on can be included in the header value by simply including them in the
  directives list e.g. no need for explicit `no_store: true` value. Note that as
  per the standard, `no-cache` can also specify one or more fields. This is
  supported via the definition below.

      plug Plug.CacheControl, directives: [no_cache: ["somefield", "otherfield"]]

  The `public` and `private` directives also have somewhat special handling so
  you won't need to explicitly define `private: false` when you've used
  `:public` in the "boolean section" of the directives list. Another important
  thing is that if a directive is not included in the directives list, the
  directive will be *omitted* from the header's value.

  The values of the directives which have a delta-seconds values can be defined
  directly as an integer representing the delta-seconds.

      plug Plug.CacheControl, directives: [:public, max_age: 3600]

  A unit tuple can also be used to specify delta-seconds. The supported time
  units are `second`, `seconds`, `minute`, `minutes`, `hour`, `hours`, `day`,
  `days`, `week`, `weeks`, `year`, `years`. The following example shows how unit
  tuples can be used as a conveniece to define delta-seconds.

      plug Plug.CacheControl,
        directives: [
          :public,
          max_age: {1, :hour},
          stale_while_revalidate: {20, :minutes}
        ]

  Dynamic directives are useful when you might want to derive cache control
  directives per-request. Maybe there's some other header value which you care
  about or a dynamic configuration governing caching behaviour, dynamic
  directives are the way to go.

      plug Plug.CacheControl, directives: &__MODULE__.dyn_cc/1

      # ...somewhere in the module...

      defp dyn_cc(_conn) do
        [:public, max_age: Cache.get(:max_age)]
      end

  As seen in the previous example, the only difference between static and
  dynamic directives definition is that the latter is a unary function which
  returns a directives list. The exact same rules that apply to the static
  directives apply to the function's return value.
