One tiny bit to add, hope this use case is not unique to me. Some data is a cache that does not need to update all that often. Such data is best loaded in the component or router. That is because 1. some of it might have been persisted to localstorage or forage and hydrated into the state 2. some of it might not be stale yet (e.g. my use case I want to invalidate at most once an hour) 3. Critically I want to provide the user the choice to refresh (i.e fetch the latest) - in the same page (smart component) where this info is to be displayed. It means the cache validation will happen onInit, and forceful update on a button click.
