Apollo-client: Offline Support for Version 2?

[ralphchristianeclipse]

Based on the apollo client v2 redux has been deprecated as the default store

any ideas how to do offline support for apollo client?

[lancygoyal]

Is there is any way to configure apollo client with redux ?

This has been discussed across a couple of other issues here and in apollo-link, notably https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-link/issues/125. I think there's some good momentum to get an offline cache solution going for Apollo 2 and I believe @danieljvdm may be opening a PR. I think other features like queueing requests are probably more suited to an apollo-link alternative or middleware/afterware.

@stubailo @helfer Would a PR adding offline cacheing with something like LocalForage to apollo-cache-inmemory be a welcome feature?

@ralphchristianeclipse we definitely want to have great offline support! Its one of the big reasons for the new architecture of the 2.0 🎉

That issue that @2WheelCoder is a great starting point, but we can also have a discussion around features here for everyone to chime in (this repo has higher traffic)

@2WheelCoder I'd prefer that any offline tooling work across cache implementations so maybe it is a wrapper around the Cache API so that other implementations can benefit from it?

[danieljvdm]

@jbaxleyiii I think in order for offline to work across cache implementations we need a cache listener (to know when the store updates, in order to persist) on the top level api. Do you agree with this? If so I can probably get started on a PR for that.

👍+1 on this.

This is stopping me from migrating my app to use GraphQL on the client. I still rely heavily on Redux Persist to ensure I have access to my data offline. +1 for this.
