Caching with multiple instance doesn't work

[ldemesla]

Hey,

I'm using Flagsmith with two instances, created using the createFlagsmithContext. I have noticed that caching is not working properly when you are running two instances. Indeed, if you look at the local storage you will see that the values from both instance are cached against the same key and are overriding each other.

Reproduction case:

communitiesFlag.init({
  environmentID: 'env-1',
  api: FLAGSMITH_API,
  cacheFlags: true,
  cacheOptions: {
    skipAPI: true,
    ttl: 1000 * 60 * 5,
  },
});

usersFlags.init({
  environmentID: 'env-2',
  api: FLAGSMITH_API,
  cacheFlags: true,
  cacheOptions: {
    skipAPI: true,
    ttl: 1000 * 60 * 5,
  },
});

usersFlags.identify('1')
communitiesFlag.identify('2')

Check in the local storage of your browser and you will see that only one of the identity has been cached

@kyle-ssg @novakzaballa what's the status here?

Hi @ldemesla, just to leave an update and let you know that we are considering if this use case would be solved by the implementation of contexts which is planned to be delivered by the second semester of this year.

Hi @ldemesla we will start working on the contexts next week, could you please explain the use case for this request? so we can know this is a good candidate for solving this with the implementation of the contexts

Also, we don't provide the function createFlagsmithContext, in the javascript client, Could you please share where you found the code for using createFlagsmithContext?
