Bug: Breaking change in 1.6.0

[JonathanViau]

What happened?

In the latest 1.6.0 release, a breaking change has been introduced by exposing a new function in an interface:
https://github.com/arthurfiorette/axios-cache-interceptor/pull/848/files#diff-153c6b38971390ad001e44eef88dd5fd8f62c9b450c64092f280c4b5d2bd1935R74
It should be included in a major release.

Relevant debugging log output

Oh shoot! Nice catch.

Although axios-cache-interceptor major releases for now just follows the axios major version, so i guess there's nothing i could do for now, just create guides on how to fix this issue :/

Are you up to a PR?

[JonathanViau]

Well, there are few options I suppose:

1. Make this new property as optional and adjust the code in case it is not provided
2. Revert the change in a 1.6.1 version (but will break anybody who already adjust their code like us)
3. Revert the change and find a new way to achieve the same expected behavior?

Option 1 is probably the one you want to keep the clear functionality.

[arthurfiorette]

Making the property optional and provide a default implementation that throws not implemented seems a good alternative

[JonathanViau]

throwing "not implemented" means additional error handling on the consuming applications, which still means breaking change.

[arthurfiorette]

No, it does not. clear() is not used by axios-cache-interceptor and was merged to allow 3rd party code to use it.

Fixed in v1.6.1
