Options

  • queryKey: string | unknown[]
    • Required
    • The query key to use for this query.
    • The query key will be hashed into a stable hash. See Query Keys for more information.
    • The query will automatically update when this key changes (as long as enabled is not set to false).
  • queryFn: (context: QueryFunctionContext) => Promise<TData>
    • Required, but only if no default query function has been defined See Default Query Function for more information.
    • The function that the query will use to request data.
    • Receives a QueryFunctionContext object with the following variables:
      • queryKey: EnsuredQueryKey: the queryKey, guaranteed to be an Array
    • Must return a promise that will either resolve data or throw an error.
  • enabled: boolean
    • Set this to false to disable this query from automatically running.
    • Can be used for Dependent Queries.
  • retry: boolean | number | (failureCount: number, error: TError) => boolean
    • If false, failed queries will not retry by default.
    • If true, failed queries will retry infinitely.
    • If set to a number, e.g. 3, failed queries will retry until the failed query count meets that number.
  • retryOnMount: boolean
    • If set to false, the query will not be retried on mount if it contains an error. Defaults to true.
  • retryDelay: number | (retryAttempt: number, error: TError) => number
    • This function receives a retryAttempt integer and the actual Error and returns the delay to apply before the next attempt in milliseconds.
    • A function like attempt => Math.min(attempt > 1 ? 2 ** attempt * 1000 : 1000, 30 * 1000) applies exponential backoff.
    • A function like attempt => attempt * 1000 applies linear backoff.
  • staleTime: number | Infinity
    • Optional
    • Defaults to 0
    • The time in milliseconds after data is considered stale. This value only applies to the hook it is defined on.
    • If set to Infinity, the data will never be considered stale
  • cacheTime: number | Infinity
    • Defaults to 5 * 60 * 1000 (5 minutes)
    • The time in milliseconds that unused/inactive cache data remains in memory. When a query's cache becomes unused or inactive, that cache data will be garbage collected after this duration. When different cache times are specified, the longest one will be used.
    • If set to Infinity, will disable garbage collection
  • queryKeyHashFn: (queryKey: QueryKey) => string
    • Optional
    • If specified, this function is used to hash the queryKey to a string.
  • refetchInterval: number | false | ((data: TData | undefined, query: Query) => number | false)
    • Optional
    • If set to a number, all queries will continuously refetch at this frequency in milliseconds
    • If set to a function, the function will be executed with the latest data and query to compute a frequency
  • refetchIntervalInBackground: boolean
    • Optional
    • If set to true, queries that are set to continuously refetch with a refetchInterval will continue to refetch while their tab/window is in the background
  • refetchOnMount: boolean | "always" | ((query: Query) => boolean | "always")
    • Optional
    • Defaults to true
    • If set to true, the query will refetch on mount if the data is stale.
    • If set to false, the query will not refetch on mount.
    • If set to "always", the query will always refetch on mount.
    • If set to a function, the function will be executed with the query to compute the value
  • refetchOnWindowFocus: boolean | "always" | ((query: Query) => boolean | "always")
    • Optional
    • Defaults to true
    • If set to true, the query will refetch on window focus if the data is stale.
    • If set to false, the query will not refetch on window focus.
    • If set to "always", the query will always refetch on window focus.
    • If set to a function, the function will be executed with the query to compute the value
  • refetchOnReconnect: boolean | "always" | ((query: Query) => boolean | "always")
    • Optional
    • Defaults to true
    • If set to true, the query will refetch on reconnect if the data is stale.
    • If set to false, the query will not refetch on reconnect.
    • If set to "always", the query will always refetch on reconnect.
    • If set to a function, the function will be executed with the query to compute the value
  • notifyOnChangeProps: string[] | "tracked"
    • Optional
    • If set, the component will only re-render if any of the listed properties change.
    • If set to ['data', 'error'] for example, the component will only re-render when the data or error properties change.
    • If set to "tracked", access to properties will be tracked, and the component will only re-render when one of the tracked properties change.
  • notifyOnChangePropsExclusions: string[]
    • Optional
    • If set, the component will not re-render if any of the listed properties change.
    • If set to ['isStale'] for example, the component will not re-render when the isStale property changes.
  • onSuccess: (data: TData) => void
    • Optional
    • This function will fire any time the query successfully fetches new data or the cache is updated via setQueryData.
  • onError: (error: TError) => void
    • Optional
    • This function will fire if the query encounters an error and will be passed the error.
  • onSettled: (data?: TData, error?: TError) => void
    • Optional
    • This function will fire any time the query is either successfully fetched or errors and be passed either the data or error
  • select: (data: TData) => unknown
    • Optional
    • This option can be used to transform or select a part of the data returned by the query function.
  • suspense: boolean
    • Optional
    • Set this to true to enable suspense mode.
    • When true, useQuery will suspend when status === 'loading'
    • When true, useQuery will throw runtime errors when status === 'error'
  • initialData: TData | () => TData
    • Optional
    • If set, this value will be used as the initial data for the query cache (as long as the query hasn't been created or cached yet)
    • If set to a function, the function will be called once during the shared/root query initialization, and be expected to synchronously return the initialData
    • Initial data is considered stale by default unless a staleTime has been set.
    • initialData is persisted to the cache
  • initialDataUpdatedAt: number | (() => number | undefined)
    • Optional
    • If set, this value will be used as the time (in milliseconds) of when the initialData itself was last updated.
  • placeholderData: TData | () => TData
    • Optional
    • If set, this value will be used as the placeholder data for this particular query observer while the query is still in the loading data and no initialData has been provided.
    • placeholderData is not persisted to the cache
  • keepPreviousData: boolean
    • Optional
    • Defaults to false
    • If set, any previous data will be kept when fetching new data because the query key changed.
  • structuralSharing: boolean
    • Optional
    • Defaults to true
    • If set to false, structural sharing between query results will be disabled.
  • useErrorBoundary: undefined | boolean | (error: TError, query: Query) => boolean
    • Defaults to the global query config's useErrorBoundary value, which is undefined
    • Set this to true if you want errors to be thrown in the render phase and propagate to the nearest error boundary
    • Set this to false to disable suspense's default behavior of throwing errors to the error boundary.
    • If set to a function, it will be passed the error and the query, and it should return a boolean indicating whether to show the error in an error boundary (true) or return the error as state (false)
  • meta: Record<string, unknown>
    • Optional
    • If set, stores additional information on the query cache entry that can be used as needed. It will be accessible wherever the query is available, and is also part of the QueryFunctionContext provided to the queryFn.

Returns

  • status: String
    • Will be:
      • idle if the query is idle. This only happens if a query is initialized with enabled: false and no initial data is available.
      • loading if the query is in a "hard" loading state. This means there is no cached data and the query is currently fetching, eg isFetching === true
      • error if the query attempt resulted in an error. The corresponding error property has the error received from the attempted fetch
      • success if the query has received a response with no errors and is ready to display its data. The corresponding data property on the query is the data received from the successful fetch or if the query's enabled property is set to false and has not been fetched yet data is the first initialData supplied to the query on initialization.
