About

A jQuery plugin to set up memoized Ajax calls to improve performance when fetching static resources via Ajax.  

Call the function via `jQuery.cachedAjax` and supply it with a configuration object that you would normally use with `jQuery.ajax` (save for the data).  It then returns a function that you call with a data object every time you wish to make a request.

Usage

var search = jQuery.cachedAjax({
      url : '/search',
      type : 'get',
      success : function(data) {
        console.log(data);
      }
    });

When you call `search({ q : "test" })` an Ajax request is made.  If it is successful, the result is stored in an array and your success callback is triggered with the data (with only the data).

A repeated call of `search({ q : "test" })` will simply call the success callback with the data stored in the array, no Ajax call is needed.  

To clear the cache, simply call `search.clearCache()`
