ByteCast #6 - Caching Network Request | Swift Actor & Task | NSCache

In this video, we’re going to implement a caching for network request. This is very suitable If your app doesn’t need to display data that changes frequently such as news, recent stock prices, transaction histories, etc.

Great example, Alfian! I have a question about caching network requests: While caching is an excellent solution to prevent redundant API calls, how would we handle scenarios where the data in the API changes? If there’s new data to fetch, wouldn’t we need a way to listen for updates or changes to ensure the cache stays in sync? Looking forward to your thoughts!

One thing you can do is to use silent remote push notification. Your backend can send a signal telling the app to invalidate the local cache.
