Those three caching strategies are framework agnostic:
- Cache only – The SW expects to find the requested assets already here.
- Network only – This strategy is exactly the opposite of the previous one: we always access the network, without even querying the cache.
- Stale while revalidate – Similarly to the cache only strategy, the goal is to ensure a fast responses by delivering the data from the cache. However, while the client request is served, a separate request is triggered to the server to fetch a newer version, if available, and store it into the cache.
Angular provides only two kind of caching strategy:
- Performance (default) – Here the goal is to optimise the response time. If a resource is available in the cache, this version is delivered. Otherwise a network request is executed to fetch and then cache it.
- Freshness – Used when it is required to deliver the latest data from the network. We can specify a timeout after which the request falls back to the cache and tries to deliver the required data from there.
