This TypeScript code defines a custom type named CacheControl. The CacheControl type is a Partial type of an object. This means that all properties of the object are optional.
The object has several properties, each representing a different cache control directive. These directives are used in HTTP headers to control how, and for how long, individual responses are cached by browsers and other caching systems.
Here’s a brief explanation of each property:
"max-age": This is a number representing the maximum amount of time (in seconds) that the resource is considered fresh.
"s-maxage": Similar to max-age, but it applies to shared caches (e.g., proxies) and overrides max-age or the Expires header for these shared caches.
"stale-while-revalidate": Indicates that caches may serve the response in which it appears after it becomes stale, up to the indicated number of seconds.
"stale-if-error": Indicates that caches may serve the response in which it appears when an error is encountered, up to the indicated number of seconds.
"public" and "private": These are boolean values that control whether the response is cacheable in shared caches (public) or only for a single user (private).
"no-cache": A boolean value that, if true, means the cache must validate the freshness of the response with the server before serving it, even if it’s not stale.
"no-store": If true, this directive instructs the cache not to store a copy of the resource under any conditions.
"must-revalidate": If true, once the resource becomes stale, caches must not use their stale copy without successful validation on the origin server.
"proxy-revalidate": Similar to must-revalidate, but it only applies to shared caches.
"immutable": If true, it indicates that the response body will not change over time.
"no-transform": If true, it prevents any transformations or conversions to be made to the resource by caches.
The Partial utility type makes all these properties optional, meaning a CacheControl object can have any subset of these properties.
