SWR behavior #42

Open wong2 opened 1 year ago

wong2 commented 1 year ago

🚀 Feature Proposal

Implement SWR behavior, that the cached data is returned while new data are fetched in the background.

Motivation

This can help prevent the splash blank page while the translation data are loading.

Only worth on very slow networks IMO. Not something that this backend can solve.

You might have to create a new backend like https://github.com/i18next/i18next-chained-backend that does all the magic:

take from localstorage and return that if found
load from http-backend and retrigger rendering (event on i18next? reloaded? loaded?)
cache the newly loaded JSON if newer than current data
