Question 1

How to clear expired cache in Basket.js?

Accepted Answer

Use the basket.clear(true) method to remove only expired scripts from localStorage, as documented in the API. This helps manage storage without losing fresh caches.

Question 2

Basket.js vs Service Worker for caching scripts?

Accepted Answer

Basket.js is simpler and uses localStorage, ideal for quick setup with fine-grained control, but Service Workers offer more advanced caching, larger storage, and offline support, though with higher complexity.

Question 3

Can Basket.js handle caching for CSS files?

Accepted Answer

Yes, by using the addHandler method to define a custom handler for 'text/css' content type, you can cache and inject CSS styles, as shown in the README example.

Question 4

What happens if localStorage is full in Basket.js?

Accepted Answer

Basket.js does not automatically handle storage limits; it may fail to cache new scripts. Developers need to monitor and manually clear cache using methods like basket.clear() or implement size checks.

Question 5

How to use Basket.js with React or Vue?

Accepted Answer

Import Basket.js as a module and call basket.require() in lifecycle hooks like componentDidMount (React) or mounted (Vue) to load scripts asynchronously, ensuring they cache for future visits.

Question 6

Does Basket.js support TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be used with TypeScript by installing the library via npm; however, type definitions might not be included, so you may need to add custom declarations or check for community types.
