Is it possible to get createAsync to revaluate/ refetch data like createResource?

I see the example here but I'm still not understanding it

If you have a cache function, and use it inside a createAsync, then should be able to do a cache revalidate, and my understanding is that it will trigger an update of the createAsync

I read that but don't understand how or what trigger the revalidate? Would you be able to give me an example?

Yes, so you can import {revalidate} from the @solidjs/router 
// say `getUser` is a cache
getUser.key;

// which is used in a createAsync:
const user = createAsync(() => getUser(props.params.id));

// revalidate(key?: string | string[] | void);  
await revalidate(getUser.key);  
// say `getUser` is a cache
getUser.key;

// which is used in a createAsync:
const user = createAsync(() => getUser(props.params.id));

// revalidate(key?: string | string[] | void);  
await revalidate(getUser.key);

I ended up not needing to refetch because I could use the data in the ui to get the value I needed. (I was added data to a list and was thinking of using refetch/ revalidate to get the new number of items in the list but its faster just to add the new item to the existing length of list to get the total @Birk Skyum Thank you for you're help!
