Kachetor is an easy-to-use Kotlin Multiplatform caching library to support persistent cache with Ktor client.

Supported platforms:

• Android
• iOS (iosArm64, iosX64, iosSimulatorArm64)

• It complements Ktor by enabling persistent caching on platforms beyond the JVM, which Ktor currently supports.
• Uses LRU eviction strategy by using Kache a Kotlin Multiplatform caching library.

commonMain.dependencies {
    implementation("com.vipulasri.kachetor:kachetor:<version>")
}

Don't forget to replace with the latest found on the badges above or the desired version.

Provide the Kachetor instance to the HttpCache plugin and you are good to go.

install(HttpCache) {
    publicStorage(KachetorStorage(10 * 1024 * 1024)) // 10MB
}

Kachetor uses platform-specific default cache directories:

• Android: context.cacheDir - This refers to the application's cache directory on the Android device.
• iOS: caches directory - This refers to the application's caches directory within the iOS sandbox.

Allows storage of the cache in a custom directory:

install(HttpCache) {
    publicStorage(KachetorStorage("provide-platform-specific-directory-path", 10 * 1024 * 1024)) 
}

If Kachetor cannot create a persistent cache due to an issue, it will use an in-memory cache as a fallback.
