Description

Is it possible to specify a time wherein the dataloader can keep a copy of the data, but when the time has elapsed, it will automatically clear the cache?

Or we just need to have an external function (setInterval), which calls the [customDataLoader].clear() or [customDataLoader].clearAll()?

Research direction
Review the DataLoader documentation and source code to determine if there is built in support for time based cache expiration. If not, consider implementing a ttl option that clears cache entries after a specified duration. Check existing issues and pull requests for related discussions.
