Why no-cache?

[kayx23]

Testing graphql caching in the downstream and found cache-control: no-store header in the response.

What was the consideration of not allowing caching for the queries and mutations?

graphqlzero/apps/graphqlzero-web/pages/index.tsx

Lines 581 to 588 in f577a18

	function QueryResultDisplay(props: QueryResultDisplayProps): ReactElement {
	const { query, variables } = props;
	const result = useQuery(query, {
	variables,
	fetchPolicy: "no-cache",
	});
	return <OperationResultDisplay result={result} />;
	}

hi @kayx23,

on the topic of caching, from the Apollo Server docs:

by default, no operation results are cached unless you set cache hints

since this is a reference/educational project, keeping default behaviours is likely the best way to avoid confusion for beginners

as a side note: the code you linked is client code from the website itself; it does not prescribe the server's caching behaviour. aka: fetchPolicy: "no-cache" is not related to the API response containing the cache-control: no-store header

This is clear. Thanks!
