 The value will be passed through the `serialize` method you optionally provided when you instantiated the `swr` helper.
 
+Additional options can be passed as a third argument and propagated to the storage's `setItem` method.

+const cacheValue = { something: 'useful' }
+const persistOptions = { overrideOption: 1000 }

 #### Manually read from cache
 
 There is a convenience static method made available if you need to simply read from the underlying storage without triggering revalidation. Sometimes you just want to know if there is a value in the cache for a given key.
