fetch(), how to make a non-cached request?

<p>Using <code>fetch('somefile.json')</code>, can I request a file from the server instead of the browser cache? </p> <p>In other words, is it possible to bypass the browser's cache using <code>fetch()</code>? </p>

    Easier use of cached mode:

    // Download a resource with cache busting, to bypass the cache
      // completely.
      fetch("some.json", {cache: "no-store"})
        .then(function(response) { /* consume the response */ });
    
      // Download a resource with cache busting, but update the HTTP
      // cache with the downloaded resource.
      fetch("some.json", {cache: "reload"})
        .then(function(response) { /* consume the response */ });
    
      // Download a resource with cache busting when dealing with a
      // properly configured server that will send the correct ETag
      // and Date headers and properly handle If-Modified-Since and
      // If-None-Match request headers, therefore we can rely on the
      // validation to guarantee a fresh response.
      fetch("some.json", {cache: "no-cache"})
        .then(function(response) { /* consume the response */ });
    
      // Download a resource with economics in mind!  Prefer a cached
      // albeit stale response to conserve as much bandwidth as possible.
      fetch("some.json", {cache: "force-cache"})
        .then(function(response) { /* consume the response */ });

    Fetch You can get an init object that contains many customizations you might want to apply to your request, including an option called "Headers".

    The "headers" option takes a Header object. This object allows you to configure headers to be added to the request.

    By adding pragma: no-cache and cache-control: no-cache in the header, you will force the browser to check the server to see if the file exists with the cache are different from the existing files in . You can also use cache-control: no-store as it just doesn't allow the browser and all intermediate cache stores to return any version of the response.

    Here is a sample code:

    var myImage = document.querySelector('img');
    
    var myHeaders = new Headers();
    myHeaders.append('pragma', 'no-cache');
    myHeaders.append('cache-control', 'no-cache');
    
    var myInit = {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: myHeaders,
    };
    
    var myRequest = new Request('myImage.jpg');
    
    fetch(myRequest, myInit)
      .then(function(response) {
        return response.blob();
      })
      .then(function(response) {
        var objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(response);
        myImage.src = objectURL;
      });
