### Parameters

* **overrideOptions**

  **AllCacheOptions**

### Returns

* **AllCacheOptions**

  ### ### AllCacheOptionsOverride options for a cache strategy.

  * **maxAge**

    **number**

    The maximum amount of time in seconds that a resource will be considered fresh. See `max-age` in the [MDN docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control#:~:text=Response%20Directives-,max%2Dage,-The%20max%2Dage).

    **string**

    The caching mode, generally `public`, `private`, or `no-store`.

  * **sMaxAge**

    **number**

    Similar to `maxAge` but specific to shared caches. See `s-maxage` in the [MDN docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control#s-maxage).

  * **staleIfError**

    **number**

    Indicate that the cache should serve the stale response if an error occurs while revalidating the cache. See `stale-if-error` in the [MDN docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control#stale-if-error).

  * **staleWhileRevalidate**

    **number**

    Indicate that the cache should serve the stale response in the background while revalidating the cache. See `stale-while-revalidate` in the [MDN docs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Cache-Control#stale-while-revalidate).
