What are the best caching strategies for Apollo Client?

Apollo Client offers several caching strategies, including InMemoryCache, cache-first, and network-only. Each has its use cases.

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.

When should I use cache-first?

Use cache-first when you want to improve performance and reduce network requests, especially for data that doesn't change often.

What about using cache-and-network?

Cache-and-network fetches data from the cache first and then makes a network request to update the cache with the latest data.
