Restangular can make use of $http's built-in response cache.
# Cache response for single request
Restangular.one('accounts', 123).withHttpConfig({ cache: true }).get();
# Cache responses for all requests (be careful with that, you might work with stale data)
RestangularProvider.setDefaultHttpFields({ cache: true });
To invalidate cached responses e.g. on a state change in UI Router, you can do
@app.run ['$rootScope', '$cacheFactory', ($rootScope, $cacheFactory) ->
$rootScope.$on '$stateChangeSuccess', ->
$cacheFactory.get('$http').removeAll()
]
Alternative approaches might involve a custom $cacheFactory instance for your Restangular resources where you could expire cached responses whenever nescessary.
