@playstack/cache-next
Shared Next.js incremental caching, Cache Components, and signed on-demand revalidation over Playstack Cache.
Free. MIT licensed. Check preview availability before installing. See package access.
@playstack/cache-next maps an application-owned @playstack/cache driver onto Next.js caching without importing framework internals.
Install
After confirming preview access, install the package at your application's shared Playstack version:
npm install --save-exact @playstack/cache-next@0.1.0-beta.1Check the peer requirements below before choosing a runtime or provider.
Choose the Next.js cache boundary
createNextIncrementalCacheHandler()supports the stable singularcacheHandlerused by ISR, fetch caching, and Pages/App Router output from Next 14.1 onward.createNextCacheComponentHandler()supports Next 16cacheHandlers, streamed Cache Component values, and distributed soft-tag invalidation.createNextRevalidationHandler()verifies a timestamped HMAC before invoking injected path and tag revalidation functions in either router.
Incremental entries use Node structured-clone serialization so buffers, typed arrays, and maps are not forced through JSON. Applications own the handler file, cache policy, secrets, and deployment topology.
API entry points and requirements
Reference snapshot: @playstack/cache-next@0.1.0-beta.1. Import only the entry point your runtime needs. Paths below are relative to the installed package; use Go to Definition in your editor to inspect exact parameters, return types and overloads. Do not import the declaration-file paths directly.
| Public entry point | Declaration file |
|---|---|
@playstack/cache-next | ./dist/index.d.ts |
@playstack/cache-next/package.json | No TypeScript declaration (asset or metadata export). |
Node.js engine requirement: >=20. This is not a claim that every entry point works in browsers or Workers.
Peer dependencies
Keep existing framework versions that satisfy these ranges. Install optional peers only when using the corresponding adapter. The package manager resolves ordinary dependencies separately.
| Peer | Compatible range | When needed |
|---|---|---|
@playstack/cache | 0.1.0-beta.1 | Required by the package. |
next | >=14.1.0 <17 | Required by the package. |
