How deeply does The Well-Grounded Data Analyst cover st.cache_data?

Explains decorator placement and shows cached helper calls, but does not detail cache invalidation or storage internals.

St.cache_data

As explained in The Well-Grounded Data Analyst

A Streamlit decorator that caches data-returning function results to avoid repeated computation or loading.

st.cache_data caches results from data-loading helper functions so datasets are not reloaded whenever a user performs an action, such as changing a dropdown. section 11.2.2

Apply it by wrapping a helper function with the decorator, then call that function when preparing data for the Streamlit app.
