You can also invalidate the cache by using the `CacheInvalidator` function as shown below:

```go
app.Use(cache.New(cache.Config{
CacheInvalidator: func(c fiber.Ctx) bool {
return fiber.Query[bool](c, "invalidateCache")
},
}))
```

The `CacheInvalidator` function allows you to define custom conditions for cache invalidation. Return true if conditions such as specific query parameters or headers are met, which require the cache to be invalidated. For example, in this code, the cache is invalidated when the query parameter invalidateCache is set to true.

| Property | Type | Description | Default |

| Next | `func(fiber.Ctx) bool` | Next defines a function that is executed before creating the cache entry and can be used to execute the request without cache creation. If an entry already exists, it will be used. If you want to completely bypass the cache functionality in certain cases, you should use the [skip middleware](skip.md). | `nil` |
| Expiration | `time.Duration` | Expiration is the time that a cached response will live. | `1 * time.Minute` |
| CacheHeader | `string` | CacheHeader is the header on the response header that indicates the cache status, with the possible return values "hit," "miss," or "unreachable." | `X-Cache` |
| CacheControl | `bool` | CacheControl enables client-side caching if set to true. | `false` |
| KeyGenerator | `func(fiber.Ctx) string` | Key allows you to generate custom keys. | `func(c fiber.Ctx) string { return utils.CopyString(c.Path()) }` |
| ExpirationGenerator | `func(fiber.Ctx, *cache.Config) time.Duration` | ExpirationGenerator allows you to generate custom expiration keys based on the request. | `nil` |
| Storage | `fiber.Storage` | Store is used to store the state of the middleware. | In-memory store |
| Store (Deprecated) | `fiber.Storage` | Deprecated: Use Storage instead. | In-memory store |
| Key (Deprecated) | `func(fiber.Ctx) string` | Deprecated: Use KeyGenerator instead. | `nil` |
| StoreResponseHeaders | `bool` | StoreResponseHeaders allows you to store additional headers generated by next middlewares & handler. | `false` |
| MaxBytes | `uint` | MaxBytes is the maximum number of bytes of response bodies simultaneously stored in cache. | `0` (No limit) |
| Methods | `[]string` | Methods specifies the HTTP methods to cache. | `[]string{fiber.MethodGet, fiber.MethodHead}` |

## 🧬 Middlewares

### Cache

We are excited to introduce a new option in our caching middleware: Cache Invalidator. This feature provides greater control over cache management, allowing you to define a custom conditions for invalidating cache entries.
