Research direction

Start by reading issue #5 and the quoted comment, which describe the current temporary caching behavior and possible future strategies. The issue does not name files, tests, or a settled strategy; done would require agreed behavior for selectable strategies such as fetching only once or refreshing after a specified interval.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As @marcelgarus already said in https://github.com/marcelgarus/flutter_cached/issues/5#issuecomment-598095137:

Actually, the current behavior is somewhat intended as a temporary behavior. In the long term, I was thinking about implementing multiple caching strategies that you can choose from (for example, only fetching the first time or fetching only if the last fetch is some amount in the past)
