How would you implement client-side caching?

Answer from AI

Client-side caching can be implemented in several ways:

  • LocalStorage / SessionStorage — for storing data between sessions or within a session.
  • IndexedDB — for more complex data structures and larger volumes.
  • Service Workers — for intercepting network requests and caching responses, enabling offline work and faster loading.
  • HTTP Cache-Control headers — the browser caches resources according to these headers.

Example of using Service Worker for caching:

self.addEventListener('install', event => {
  event.waitUntil(
    caches.open('v1').then(cache => {
      return cache.addAll([
        '/',
        '/styles.css',
        '/script.js',
        '/image.png'
      ]);
    })
  );
});

self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  event.respondWith(
    caches.match(event.request).then(response => {
      return response || fetch(event.request);
    })
  );
});

This approach allows for quick delivery of cached resources and reduces network load.
