preflight

Before performing a request, the library will check whether it should, based on logic and cache control.

Should perform

Here are the conditions that would immediately cancel a request:
Request method
Condition
Explanation
GET
An identical request (same URL, same query parameters) is already performing
We will receive the payload of the first request sooner than the payload of the second, and there is no reason they should differ
POST
An identical request (same URL) is already performing
We didn't find a way to effectively monitor POST requests. For a given resource, they have the same URL, and often the same body. However, tou can use cache hints to differentiate multiple POST requests with the same URL
PATCH
An identical request (same URL) is already performing
The second request might be based on outdated info, which will be updated when we receive the payload of the first request
PUT
An identical request (same URL) is already performing
Same as for PATCH
DELETE
An identical request (same URL) is already performing
A resource can only be deleted once

Cache control

And here are the conditions that would cancel a request based on cache control:
Request method
Condition
GET
- The exact same request has succeeded and its cache is still valid - The request is about a resource/id pair which has already been retrieved, and the cache is still valid
POST
No cache
PATCH
No cache
PUT
No cache
DELETE
No cache
