Rxjs data cache

A rxjs update to simple in-memory cache for Angular data-providers

In my recent article, I have described a convenient way of caching repeated data calls and its payload in a simple in-memory data cache. If you haven’t seen it and want to get the most out of this article, I suggest you give a read (the concept is pretty simple, so it shall be quick). The described concept is based on Angular 2+, but it can be easily adapted to any framework.

As a followup to the original article, in this one I’ll describe how to avoid keeping two types of caches: one for data and one for calls, by using rxjs in a slightly more advanced way.

To fully understand the use case of the described solution, please refer to the detail description placed in previous article.

In the original article, we have created 2 types of caches in our data-provider: observable and data cache, just like that:
