Description

As a reminder, this project is being built upon the following starter project on Repl.it, or cloned from GitHub. If you are releasing an update for your website, and you want the users to always download the newer version, you can (try to) disable caching on clients browser. It can be useful in development too. Caching has performance benefits, which you will lose, so only use this option when there is a real need.

Instructions

Tests

tests:
  - text: helmet.noCache() middleware should be mounted correctly
    testString: getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/app-info').then(data => { assert.include(data.appStack, 'nocache'); assert.equal(data.headers['cache-control'], 'no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate'); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })

Solution

/**
  Backend challenges don't need solutions, 
  because they would need to be tested against a full working project.
