Caching strategies
In our journey to master the repository pattern, we’ve explored the basics of setting up repositories and data sources and integrating them into our Flutter app. Now, let’s dive into an advanced topic: caching strategies.
Caching is a crucial aspect of modern mobile app development. It involves storing frequently accessed data in a local cache to reduce the need for repeated network requests. In our Candy Store app, caching can greatly improve performance by providing faster access to frequently viewed candy information.
Caching strategy
In the previous section, we learned how we can leverage local databases such as Hive to temporarily store the data retrieved from our remote APIs. To optimize caching further, consider implementing a caching strategy based on your app’s specific requirements. For example, you can set a maximum cache size, implement cache eviction policies, or refresh cached data periodically to keep it up-to-date.
