Caching concept in AEM CIF framework

[Mahesh_Gunaje]

Hello Team,

I am exploring CIF components. Wanted to know, is any caching feature is implemented here? Or everytime, to fetch the product list or to fetch any item list, only GraphQL is used to fetch the details from Adobe Commerce?

Thanks

Hi @Mahesh_Gunaje ,

For caching the GraphQL Response, you can either try to cache the repsonse in Dispatcher or Use a Java Based Object cache like EH Cache and setup the proper cache invalidation configuration for effective caching mechanism.

For CIF components, caching is configured on a component basis, so it is possible to control if (and how long) GraphQL requests/responses are being cached for each component. It is also possible to define the caching behavior for OSGi services using the GraphQL client.

You can use com.adobe.cq.commerce.graphql.client.impl.GraphqlClientImpl configuration to define the caching on component basis
ex: venia/components/structure/navigation:true:10:600
