So I tried to learn cache storage and fire cache from the mozzila developer network, but I don't really understand what the basic differences are from cache storage and object cache, both have the same function
for example caches.match and cache.match have the same function of matching cache, but I don't really understand when to use one of these, maybe someone can explain more deeply the fundamental differences in CacheStorage and Cache
Reference : https://developer.mozilla.org/id/docs/Web/API/CacheStorage https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Cache
The CacheStorage interface holds several Cache objects, like a Map of Maps if you wish.
This allows you to do versioning for instance, you can have two Cache instances which from the same Requests won't return the same Response.
Regarding their match
methods, if you want to find the Response in a particular Cache Object, then you use cache.match
, if you want to find it in any Cache Objects, then you use caches.match
, which as MDN's article puts it
Note:
caches.match()
is a convenience method. Equivalent functionality is to callcache.match()
on each cache (in the order returned bycaches.keys()
) until a Response is returned.
Other methods are pretty different since CacheStorage caches
will deal with managing the different Cache objects, while Cache instances will deal with managing actual Request -> Response linking.
