As per Box documentation, the clearCache function of Content Explorer should force reload the items. But when I call the same function, I don’t see any reload of items in Content Explorer widget.


I am using Content Explorer version 17.1.0.


/**



  • Clears out the internal in-memory

  • cache for the content explorer forcing

  • re-load of items via the API.


  • @public

  • @return {void}

    */

    contentExplorer.clearCache();


Any errors on the console?

There are no errors on the console.

Hey @Niladri!


I can see where there’s confusion with that comment. The clearCache() method won’t actually immediately re-load the items, it just means the next time a network request should be made, it will not use any cached result.


You can see the implementation of the method here:



Hi @tjuanitas,


It’s great to have a better understanding of how the “clearCache” method operates, thanks to your explanation.
