Cacheing API Results using Flutter an Hive

Question

What is the proper way to cache API results using Hive?

The current way I plan to implement it is using the request URL as the key and the returned data as the body.

Is there a proper way to do this more production friendly? I can't find a tutorial as most tutorials are abstracted by using another package that takes care of this for them or a tutorial uses a different package.

In order to cache rest API data, you can use hive which is a No-SQL database and is easier to use and faster to retrieve and is faster than shared preferences and sqflite.

The code is written cleaner and is architectures by using stacked architecture. Hope this answer is helpful to you
