## Description

React-router-cache-route is a client-side route state manager and component caching library for React Router applications. It preserves component state, local Document Object Model structures, and view containers across route changes to prevent unmounting during navigation. 

The library includes LRU-based cache capacity limiting to automatically prune older entries and manage memory consumption when handling multiple dynamic route instances. It provides declarative route matching rules using conditional strings or custom functions, alongside an automatic scroll position persistence engine that saves and restores horizontal and vertical scroll coordinates when views activate and deactivate.

Additional capabilities include imperative cache store management for clearing specific route keys or wiping the entire cache store at runtime, component lifecycle hook injection for triggering custom callbacks during cache entry and recovery phases, and configurable wrapper styles for cached elements.
