How to optionally turn off apollo caching?

To optionally turn off Apollo caching, you can set the cache implementation to noCache when initializing your Apollo Client instance. Here's an example using the InMemoryCache implementation in JavaScript:

import { ApolloClient, InMemoryCache, from } from '@apollo/client';

const client = new ApolloClient({
  uri: 'http://your-graphql-endpoint',
  cache: new InMemoryCache({
    typePolicies: {
      Query: {
        fields: {
          // Add any custom cache configuration here
        },
      },
    },
  }),
});

In the above example, you can specify custom cache configuration inside the typePolicies object, or you can set the cache implementation to noCache to completely disable caching:

import { ApolloClient, InMemoryCache, from } from '@apollo/client';
import { NoCache } from 'apollo-cache';

const client = new ApolloClient({
  uri: 'http://your-graphql-endpoint',
  cache: new NoCache(),
});

By using NoCache, Apollo Client will not cache any query results, effectively turning off caching for your application. Remember that turning off caching may impact the performance of your application, especially if you're making a lot of network requests to fetch data.
