To leverage distributed cache, you'll have to reference one of the available implementations :
For instance you'll register Redis implemention as follows :
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDistributedRedisCache(options =>
{
options.Configuration = "ServerAdress";
options.InstanceName = "InstanceName";
});
}
Require IDistributedCache
dependency where you need it:
public class BooksController { private IDistributedCache distributedCache; public BooksController(IDistributedCache distributedCache) { this.distributedCache = distributedCache; } [HttpGet] public async Task<Books[]> GetAllBooks() { var serialized = this.distributedCache.GetStringAsync($"allbooks"); Books[] books = null; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(serialized)) { books = await Books.FetchAllAsync(); this.distributedCache.SetStringAsync($"allbooks", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(books)); } else { books = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Books[]>(serialized); } return books; } }
