Turn Cache on Screens off about senna.js HOT 4 CLOSED

Hello Stan! Thanks for collaborating filling this issue :)

How are you using senna App? You are extending senna App?

from senna.js.

Thanks for the quick response!
Currently using it with turbolinks. Just adding senna-surface etc. as tags. It works perfectly! But my pages must be up to date always (for example I have a page with a schedule that can be updated any time).
Thanks in advance for helping!

EDIT:
Found app.clearScreensCache(); is something. Not sure how to implement this in my situation.
Because I want to clear cache on every page navigation. (So basically I never want to cache any page).
Couldn't find an easy option to turn it off.
Let me know if this is possible!

EDIT 2:
I've found that if you edit a value in senna-debug.js on line 8683 to false. It would not cache any pages.
_this.cacheable = false;
Not sure if this is the best option? Since now Senna is creating new screens for every page navigation, in stead of deleting the old screen and creating a new one.
Let me know if there is an auto-delete screen if cache does not match up to date page (cache invalidation)

Hi @Aurugorn,

I had the same problem as you.
You can have a bit more control of your cache like this:

import App, {HtmlScreen} from "senna";

var appInstance = new App();
appInstance.setLinkSelector("a.js-spa");
appInstance.setFormSelector("");
appInstance.addSurfaces('page-body');
appInstance.addRoutes([{
    path: /.*/,
    handler: function (route) {
        const screen = new HtmlScreen();
        screen.setCacheable(false);
        return screen;
    }
}]);

from senna.js.

Closing based on the provided workaround. Please, feel free to reopen if still need something else!
