getCacheForType is not a function

[Andrew Powell]

Hey there. Interesting project, thanks for putting it together. I installed v0.0.50 and used the code below, and received the error below.

import { createCache } from 'suspense';

const cache = createCache({
  load: () => new Promise<string>((resolve) => setTimeout(() => resolve('done'), 2000))
});

TypeError: getCacheForType is not a function

@shellscape are you using an experimental build of React, rather than the stable 18.2 or similar build?

[Andrew Powell]

Ah, I'm using stable 18.2.0

I'm learning about react suspense internals now and didn't realize that what the readme refers to are npm tags.

[Mark Erikson]

Yeah, React uses feature flags to enable experimental features in non-stable builds, and getCacheForType only exists in experimental builds.

I've added a new error message in 0.0.52 for this case to hopefully help avoid future confusion:
