[RFC]: Suport Apollo Persisted Cache

[dthyresson]

Summary

Simple persistence for all Apollo Client 3.0 cache implementations.

See: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-cache-persist

In response to the Forums discussion here: https://community.redwoodjs.com/t/persist-apollo-cache-to-local-storage/5699 Redwood should consider better support for persisting the Apollo cache via local or other storage -- and restoring it.

Motivation

While there are cache-first fetch policies, there are cases when an app may want to cache and restore.

There is a way to persist the cache (see: https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/blob/8b870b289557d19d1685865ce1766f5f7572dcce/docs/docs/graphql/caching.md#persisting-cache) but the DX could be easier .... and also let the useCache hook persist and restore.

Detailed proposal

We'd have to modify the Apollo cache in the framework but be wary of always importing the persist cache package, so may need to dynamically import in a similar way SSELink is imported.

Are you interested in working on this?
