Add Caching/Limits to Contract Calls

With useContractCall and useContractCalls it’s mentioned the data is updated every block.

This approach can get expensive when paying for a node service (Infura/Alchemy)

Any discussions for adding caching or limiting fetches?

Personally, I’ve been using react-query to wrap my contract call and had a lot of success.

Would be great to add at a minimum the ability to limit refetches and/or also the ability cache requests and only refetch if certain parameters in the state have been met i.e. a certain function has been called/broadcast/confirmed or another state change in the application.

Interesting, we could add CallOptions with refreshFrequency parameter:

const wethBalance = useContractCall({
  abi: wethInterface,
  address: '0xA243FEB70BaCF6cD77431269e68135cf470051b4',
  method: 'balanceOf',
  args: [account], {
    refreshFrequency: eachBlock
  });

With options like: eachBlock, everyBlock(n), never

Application configuration could include defaultRefreshFrequency.

eachBlock could be a function, returns true or false for given multicall and block.

That sounds like a great place to start.

BTW great library! Really liking it so far - very easy to use.
