How does Apollo Client handle advanced caching strategies?

Apollo Client uses a normalized cache to store data, allowing for efficient updates and retrieval. It supports various caching strategies like cache-first, network-only, and more.

Can you explain the difference between cache-first and network-only?

Sure! Cache-first tries to read data from the cache first and only fetches from the network if the data isn't available. Network-only, on the other hand, always fetches data from the network, ignoring the cache.

What are some best practices for managing cache in Apollo Client?

Some best practices include using cache policies effectively, normalizing your data, and regularly cleaning up stale data to optimize performance.

How can I implement a custom cache policy?

You can implement a custom cache policy by defining your own fetch policy in the query options and using the cache object to manipulate the cache directly.
