RQ: Time-based cache control

“

Let's discuss few questions about time based cache control. So let's understand what exactly time based cache control is. So sometimes we need the application to have fresh data at regular intervals of time. So to re-render the page at a regular interval of time on the server, we need time based cache control. That is, after a given period of time, the server automatically re-renders the page and replaces it in the cache. This process is called time-based cache control. The second question, how can we implement the time-based cache control? So we can implement the time-based cache control by defining the route segment config options like revalidate. For example, I want to revalidate the page after 5 seconds, then I can write export const revalidate is equal to 5. So the page will automatically re-render after 5 seconds. The other way is we can use the fetch method and pass the revalidate attribute. Next question, how can we implement time-based cache control using the fetch method?…
