Angular.js - $http.get - use cache from file

Question

Is it possible to use a file (.js / .json) the angular.js cache for $http.get?

We have an angular application, and we want to download some pages and view them offline. So, the idea is, before downloading, we make all the necessary $http.get calls, and save the responses in some json / js file. When we open the pages offline, we want the $http.get calls to access this file and use it as a cache.

It sounds like it should be possible, but I'm new to angular, so I'm not sure how to configure that.

Maybe you can use web storage (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API/…), but it requires some additional logic in your code — krynio

Update, I found interesting module: jmdobry.github.io/angular-cache which probably resolve your problem. — krynio

You can utilise following techniques:

Browser's localStorage, angular-local-storage
Service worker to intelligently recache requests, configurable plugin sw-precache for you build tool

Besides that:

you can enable caching of $http.get requests:

$http({ cache: true, url: url, method: 'GET'}).success(...);
you can make use of angular $templateCache : https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$templateCache
