This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

The keys() method of the Cache interface returns a Promise that resolves to an array of Cache keys.

The requests are returned in the same order that they were inserted.

Note: Requests with duplicate URLs but different headers can be returned if their responses have the VARY header set on them.

Syntax

cache.keys(request,{options}).then(function(keys) {
  //do something with your array of requests
});

Returns

A Promise that resolves to an array of Cache keys.

Parameters

request Optional
The Request want to return, if a specific key is desired.
options Optional
An object whose properties control how matching is done in the keys operation. The available options are:
  • ignoreSearch: A Boolean that specifies whether the matching process should ignore the query string in the url.  If set to true, the ?value=bar part of https://foo.com/?value=bar would be ignored when performing a match. It defaults to false.
  • ignoreMethod: A Boolean that, when set to true, prevents matching operations from validating the Request HTTP method (normally only GET and HEAD are allowed.) It defaults to false.
  • ignoreVary: A Boolean that, when set to true, tells the matching operation not to perform VARY header matching.  In other words, if the URL matches you will get a match regardless of  whether the Response object has a VARY header. It defaults to false.
  • cacheName: A DOMString that represents a specific cache to search within. Note that this option is ignored by Cache.keys().

Examples

caches.open('v1').then(function(cache) {
  cache.keys().then(function(keys) {
    keys.forEach(function(request, index, array) {
      cache.delete(request);
    });
  });
})
