React Native - Get call cache

Question

I'm building an app in React Native that makes a get call that relies on the server for the latest information. I noticed that it seems to cache the response, and if I run the fetch call again, it returns the cached response instead of the new information from the server.

My function is as follows:

goToAll() {
  AsyncStorage.getItem('FBId')
    .then((value) => {
      api.loadCurrentUser(value)
        .then((res) => {
          api.loadContent(res['RegisteredUser']['id'])
            .then((res2) => {
              console.log(res2);
              this.props.navigator.push({
                component: ContentList,
                title: 'All',
                passProps: {
              content: res2,
            user: res['RegisteredUser']['id']
          }
        })
      });
    });
  })
  .catch((error) => {console.log(error);})
  .done();
}

The api.js function I called is as follows:

loadContent(userid){
  let url = `http://####.com/api/loadContent?User_id=${userid}`;
  return fetch(url).then((response) => response.json());
}

Manosim's answer didn't work for me, but put me on a path to a solution that didwork:

fetch(url, {
  headers: {
    'Cache-Control': 'no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate',
    'Pragma': 'no-cache',
    'Expires': 0
  }
})

This solved the problem.

You can set headers to prevent requests from being cached. Example below:

return fetch(url, {
  headers: {
    'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'
  }
}).then(function (res) {
  return res.json();
}).catch(function(error) {
  console.warn('Request Failed: ', error);
});
