  1. return next.handle(req).pipe(
    do(stateEvent => {
    if(stateEvent instanceof HttpResponse) {
    this.cache.set(req, stateEvent.clone())
    }
    })
    ).share()

    this line of code create issue can you update it for angular 13 the main problem is i sent requst to bind table and i delete item from table and sent request its get reponce from cache please tell me how to fix this type of issue

  2. Great article!

    I just had to change the Map type to `Map<string, HttpResponse>`, where string is `req.urlWithParams`. With these few tweaks I was able to get mine to work.

  3. This solution doesn’t work. Angular doesn’t pass the same HttpRequest instance between the same requests. So, you can’t cache using request object, need to use some combination of its fields.

    `share` at the end is needed to make `do` (or `tap`) run only once

    1. What about making the get full URL with parameters string has the key of the cache map ? That will identify the particular request

  4. Aside from the other issues highlighted in the comments, won’t this just grow memory with all the requests/responses? For an enterprise app, this means client side growth will be huge, and things will be cached even when we don’t want them to be.
