How to keep cache isolated between different users ?

[fasidOnGit]

Let us consider the following method

@Cacheable()
  getOrders() {
    return this.http
    .get(`${environment.api}/orders`);
  }

If I switch users in the same machine in the same window (like logout and login). I see that the cache from the previous user is used for the currently logged-in user. which yields me totally wrong set of values.

I also tried to set the globalCacheKey to be a unique id to isolate the cache between multiple users. But it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.

globalCacheKey is partially fixing the issue. It does create unique entries in localStorage, But when I change the value of globalCacheKey again, it doesn't create a new entry for that in localStorage rather, still use the old one. is it intended ?

Hey @fasidOnGit, I think this should be left to user land since we cant make any assumptions on when and how to clear the cache.
The global cache key is just for the purposes of name-spacing your cache storage.

The global cache key is just for the purposes of name-spacing your cache storage.

That only works during the app bootstrap. switching reactively between cache key looks like not possible.

Correct, it only works once. For further separation you'd likely create your own storage strategy which switches between multiple namespaces

Alright, thanks for the explanation.
