useCache

The useCache flag is an experimental feature in Next.js that enables the use cache directive to be used independently of cacheComponents. When enabled, you can use use cache in your application even if cacheComponents is turned off.

Usage

To enable the useCache flag, set it to true in the experimental section of your next.config.ts file:

import type { NextConfig } from 'next'
 
const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    useCache: true,
  },
}
 
export default nextConfig

When useCache is enabled, you can use the following cache functions and configurations:

• The use cache directive
• The cacheLife function with use cache
• The cacheTag function
