How do i check that sw-toolbox urlPattern handler strategy is working as designed?

Question

I'm using sw-toolbox with sw-precache at runtime caching option. But when i visit the url and inspect the network in devtools it shows cached from service workers not from network first (as i desire). Maybe I just don't understand how these two libs work together. My current implementation uses sw-precache to cache my entire webapp(very small webapp) and using runtime caching option i used a url pattern with handler of network first. My thought is that even-though the entire app is cached , when i go the specific url pattern the data used at the page will be fetched from network not cache. Is this incorrect?

Yes your dynamic data will come from the network. You should only cache the application shell for best performance.
