Caching made simple for Android and Kotlin. An important component of building offline-first architectures is to implement caching. An offline-first architecture initially tries to fetch data from local storage and, failing that, requests the data from the network. After being retrieved from the network, the data is cached locally for future retrieval. This helps to ensure that network requests for the same piece of data only occur once—with subsequent requests satisfied locally. At its simplest, a cache is nothing more than a key-value store with a getter and setter. The real power comes when we are able to compose two caches into a new cache. A memory cache should have a single responsibility to store data in memory, and a disk cache a single responsibility to store data on disk.
