 title: cache
 ---
 
-Cache is used to prevent duplicate fetching and to trigger handle refetching.
-It takes a function and returns the same function.
+`cache` is a [higher-order function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_function) designed to create a new function with the same signature as the function passed to it.
+When this newly created function is called for the first time with a specific set of arguments, the original function is run, and its return value is stored in a cache and returned to the caller of the created function.
+The next time the created function is called with the same arguments (as long as the cache is still valid), it will return the cached value instead of re-executing the original function.
 
-```jsx
-const getUser = cache((id) => {
-  return (await fetch(`/api/users${id}`)).json()
-}, "users") // used as cache key + serialized arguments
-```
+   
+<Callout>
+`cache` can be defined anywhere and then used inside your components with [`createAsync`](/solid-router/reference/data-apis/create-async).
 
-It is expected that the arguments to the cache function are serializable.
+However, using `cache` directly in [`createResource`](/reference/basic-reactivity/create-resource) will not work since the fetcher is not reactive and will not invalidate properly.
 
-This cache accomplishes the following:
+</Callout>
 
-1. Deduping on the server for the lifetime of the request.
-2. Preloading the cache in the browser - this lasts 10 seconds.
-   When a route is preloaded on hover or when load is called when entering a route it will make sure to dedupe calls.
-3. A reactive refetch mechanism based on key.
-   This prevents routes that are not new from retriggering on action revalidation.
-4. Serve as a back/forward cache for browser navigation for up to 5 minutes.
-   Any user based navigation or link click bypasses it.
-   Upon revalidation or new fetch the cache is updated.
+## Usage
+
+```js
+const getUser = cache(
+  (id, options = {}) => fetch(`/api/users/${id}?summary=${options.summary || false}`).then(r => r.json()),
+  "usersById"
+);
+
+getUser(123); // Causes a GET request to /api/users/123?summary=false
+getUser(123); // Does not cause a GET request
+getUser(123, { summary: true }); // Causes a GET request to /api/users/123?summary=true
+setTimeout(() => getUser(123, { summary: true }), 999000); // Eventually causes another GET request to /api/users/123?summary=true

+
+## Cache keys
+
+To ensure that the cache keys are consistent and unique, arguments are deterministically serialized using JSON.stringify. 
+Before serialization, key/value pairs in objects are sorted so that the order of properties does not affect the serialization. 
+For instance, both `{ name: 'Ryan', awesome: true }` and `{ awesome: true, name: 'Ryan' }` will serialize to the same string so that they produce the same cache key.
+
+## Return value
+
+The return value is a `CachedFunction`, a function that has the same signature as the function you passed to `cache`.
+This cached function stores the return value using the cache key. 
+Under most circumstances, this temporarily prevents the passed function from running with the same arguments, even if the created function is called repeatedly.
+
+## Arguments
+
+| argument | type | description |
+| -------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `fn` | `(...args: any) => any` | A function whose return value you'd like to be cached. |
+| `name`* | string | Any arbitrary string that you'd like to use as the rest of the cache key. |
+
+*Since the internal cache is shared by all the functions using `cache`, the string should be unique for each function passed to `cache`.
+If the same key is used with multiple functions, one function might return the cached result of the other.
+
+## Methods
+
+### `.key` and `.keyFor`
+
+Cached functions provide `.key` and `.keyFor`, are useful when retrieving the keys used in cases involving invalidation:
 
 ```ts
 let id = 5;
-
 getUser.key; // returns "users"
 getUser.keyFor(id); // returns "users[5]"
 ```
 
+### `revalidate`
+
 The cache can be revalidated using the `revalidate` method or the `revalidate` keys that are set on the response from the actions.
-If the whole key is passed, it will invalidate all entries for the cache (ie. `users` in the example above).
+If the entire key is passed, it will invalidate all entries for the cache (ie. `users` in the example above).
 If only a single entry needs to be invalidated, `keyFor` is provided.
