Asp.Net Core supported HttpCaching Nuget Package

I'm currently working with WebAPI 2 and considering to upgrade to ASP.Net Core.

currently, My http caching is managed by Strathweb.CacheOutput.WebApi2 and I realized it's not supported by Asp.Net Core.

the key features I like about it:

  • full control over what is being cached and how
  • auto invalidation of Caches whenever a post/put/delete/patch occurs

for the full list of features, Strathweb.CacheOutput.WebApi2 on github: https://github.com/filipw/Strathweb.CacheOutput

any idea of a corresponding package?

(in the worst case scenario, I'll obviously have to write my own logic...)

Notes: I'm aware of ResponseCacheAttribute but it lacks the auto invalidation feature

    You also have Microsoft.AspNetCore.ResponseCaching, but at the current version (release 1.0.0) it does not support invalidation on POST/PATCH/DELETE, as you said.
