Hello there!

I'm currently using this library for autosave, and I must say I appreciate its simplicity. However, I've encountered a specific use case that the library doesn't quite address. I perform a request in each onSave, but I'd prefer not to invalidate my cache in every request, I prefer to do only when the component unmount. As of now, I can achieve this by creating a separate useEffect just for that purpose or implementing it the existing onSave callback.

I'm curious to know if you've considered implementing a feature in the library. It would be great if the library could provide an option to know if is an onmount callback or not.

What are your thoughts on this idea?

One bit of feedback but this looks good to me 👍🏼 I'm wondering how difficult it would be to add a test for this? No worries if it turns out to be a lot of trouble

data: TData;
/** Callback function to save your data */
onSave: (data: TData) => Promise<TReturn> | TReturn | void;
onSave: (data: TData, isOnUnmount: boolean) => Promise<TReturn> | TReturn | void;

Suggested change
onSave: (data: TData, isOnUnmount: boolean) => Promise<TReturn> | TReturn | void;
onSave: (data: TData, meta: {unmounting: boolean}) => Promise<TReturn> | TReturn | void;

Could we wrap this in an object so if we ever need to add more metadata it is not a breaking change to the callback's contract?
