Purging by UID

[jakubmirejovsky]

Hi, what is the best approach to purge the cache by uid of the cached entity?

This is what we are using now, but I feel it's not the right way:

purgeCache: async (rest_route_plural) => {
      const keys = await strapi.plugins["rest-cache"].services.cacheStore.keys()
      const keysToDelete = keys.filter(key => key.includes(rest_route_plural))
      for (let key of keysToDelete) {
        await strapi.plugins["rest-cache"].services.cacheStore.del(key)
      }
    }

How to purge all related cache entries to an entity represented by its uid (eg. 'api::item-log.item-log')?

Any help would be appriciated. I tried clearByUid() but with no luck.

Hello!

You can use cacheStore.clearByUid method
