EXPERIMENTAL

Chain Falcor DataSources together into a memory hierarchy

This allows you to create multiple caches on the way to a DataSource. The most obvious use case is probably for having a file system cache on the client sitting between the Model and the server.

This is better than explicitly serializing and persisting your Model cache:

  • It’s works incrementally
    • You don’t have to serialize the cache all at once, or calculate diffs
  • It’s orthogonal to normal Falcor execution
    • You don’t have to do anything! Just run gets and sets on JSON Graph and you’ll automatically get persistence as a side-effect of whatever caching properties your graph specifies

TODO

Implement cache invalidation for ‘call‘ operations
