🔄 Cache Strategies

| Strategy | Description | | :--- | :--- | | CacheStrategy.cacheFirst | Returns cached response if valid, otherwise makes network call. | | CacheStrategy.networkFirst | Tries network first; falls back to cache if offline or on failure. | | CacheStrategy.staleWhileRevalidate | Immediately returns cached data while asynchronously updating cache in background. | | CacheStrategy.noCache | Bypasses cache completely and updates cache on response. |
