What are the best practices for caching with Apollo Client?

The best practices for caching with Apollo Client include using normalized caching, managing cache updates effectively, and leveraging cache policies.

Can you explain what normalized caching means?

Normalized caching means storing data in a flat structure, allowing Apollo Client to reference objects by their unique IDs, which helps in efficient updates and retrieval.

How do I manage cache updates when data changes?

You can manage cache updates by using the writeQuery and writeFragment methods to update specific parts of the cache after mutations.

What are cache policies, and how do they work?

Cache policies determine how Apollo Client interacts with the cache and the network. They can be set to fetch data from the cache first, the network, or both.
