feature request: cache override/force

It’d be useful to have an option on making a request to clear the existing cache for the id. This is because knowing the id of a request to invalidate it can be difficult.

The workaround I might use for now is to use the built in id generator and calculate the expected id from it, but it adds a lot of complexity.

I see this being implemented as:

1. calculate id using the key generator
2. calling await axios.storage.remove(id)
3. running the request

Hey @domdomegg, I’ve just released 0.10.5!

Hey @arthurfiorette, the override option you’ve implemented exactly what I wanted I think - thanks 🙌

I agree that centralizing all request functions might go some way to alleviating this problem. However, in our app doing that would add quite a bit of boilerplate to an app that already strictly types its APIs using some existing wrappers. And yes, those wrappers could also generate unique ids for each endpoint and make sure it’s applying them correctly when calling with different arguments/params etc. (I think the same might go for a file which externalizes and centralizes the right ids dependent on params etc.), but at least in our codebase that would be significantly more complex than being able to override the cache when making certain requests we know shouldn’t use the cache anyways.

Again, thanks for the amazingly fast response - this feature really helps us 😃
