Caching between refresh

[TommasoBendinelli]

Hi @whitphx,
I wanted to thank you for this wonderful project
I am currently trying to build a streamlit app using your code, but whenever I make a change and I need to refresh the browser, it takes some time to reload the page. I was wondering if you have any idea on how to speed this up. Is there a way to cache the page when refreshing the browser?
Best,
Tommaso

Hi, thank you for using stlite.

Using stlite sharing is one option.
When you click the save button, the Streamlit app in the right pane detects the change and shows the "always rerun" button which you can use for live-reloading.
You can also generate a single static HTML file containing the stlite app you edited from the share button in the header.

FYI, technically, it updates the files mounted on the virtual file system behind the app at runtime so Streamlit's dynamic reloading works, instead of entirely reloading the page and caching.
