Breaking Changes & Migration Guide

Do you use falsy query keys for dependent queries?
- The new way to do dependent queries to instead use the enabled config flag. You should move your conditions in your key to the enabled option
  - Before
```
useQuery(ready && queryKey, queryFn)
```
  - After
```
useQuery(queryKey, queryFn, { enabled: ready })
```
Do you use functions as queryKeys for dependent queries?
- If you use functions as query keys that can potentially throw, you should migrate their logic to the enabled config option and use optional chaining to cast them to a boolean
  - Before
```
useQuery(() => ['user', user.id], queryFn)
```
  - After
```
useQuery(['user', user?.id], queryFn, { enabled: user?.id })
```

Do you expect dependent queries to start in the success state?

Dependent queries now start in a new idle state. You should account for this new state where possible. Most rendering logic should still work if you are checking first for the loading and error states first, then falling back to the "success" state, but still... it's a good idea to do this

Before

const { status, data } = useQuery(key, fn)

return status === 'loading'
  ? 'Loading...'
  : status === 'error'
  ? error.message
  : data
  ? 'The Data'
  : 'Not Ready'

After

const { status } = useQuery(key, fn

return status === 'idle' ? 'Not Ready' : status === 'loading'
  ? 'Loading...'
  : status === 'error'
  ? error.message
  : 'The Data'

Do you use queryCache.refetchQueries?
- refetchQueries has been renamed to invalidateQueries. You will need make this rename change for your app to continue working propertly. The name change comes due to some differences in what the function does.
  - Before, any queries that matched the queryKey used in refetchQueries(queryKey) and were also stale, would be refetched... **even queries that were inactive and not rendered on the screen. This resulted in quite a few queries being refetched regardless of their immediate necessity.
  - Now, with invalidateQueries, only queries that are actively rendered will be refetched, while any other matching queries will forcefully be marked as stale.
  - This probably won't affect much performance, but should help reduce overfetching out of the box.
Did you expect queryCache.refetchQueries to only refetch stale queries?
- The new invalidateQueries method will always refetch matching queries that are active. All other matched queries that are not active will be immediately marked as stale.
Do you call queryCache.refetchQueries with the force option?
- Before, the force option was a way to force queries that were not stale to refetch.
- Now, he new invalidateQueries method will always refetch matching queries that are active and all other matched queries that are not active will be immediately marked as stale.

Do you use a global configuration object to configure React Query?

Before, the global configuration object was flat:

const globalConfig = {
  suspense,
  useErrorBoundary,
  throwOnError,
  refetchAllOnWindowFocus,
  queryKeySerializerFn,
  onMutate,
  onSuccess,
  onError,
  onSettled,
  retry,
  retryDelay,
  staleTime,
  cacheTime,
  refetchInterval,
  queryFnParamsFilter,
  refetchOnMount,
  isDataEqual,
}

Now, the global configuration object has 3 parts. The shared section, which is only for the suspense and queryKeySerializerFn options (that are inherited into all others) and the queries and mutations sections, each corresponding to the functionality they are used for in React Query:

const globalConfig = {
  shared: {
    suspense,
  },
  queries: {
    suspense, // defaults to `shared.suspense`
    queryKeySerializerFn,
    enabled,
    retry,
    retryDelay,
    staleTime,
    cacheTime,
    refetchOnWindowFocus,
    refetchInterval,
    queryFnParamsFilter,
    refetchOnMount,
    isDataEqual,
    onError,
    onSuccess,
    onSettled,
    throwOnError,
    useErrorBoundary,
  },
  mutations: {
    suspense, // defaults to `shared.suspense`
    throwOnError,
    onMutate,
    onError,
    onSuccess,
    onSettled,
    useErrorBoundary,
  },
}

Do you use "optional query variables" eg. useQuery(queryKey, optionalVariables, queryFn) or useQuery({ variables })?
- Optional variables have been removed. They were not used by many and also were unnecessary seeing how you can inline them into your query function
- Before
```
useQuery('todos', [optional, variables], queryFn)
```
- After
```
useQuery('todos', (key) => queryFn(key, optional, variables))
```
Do you use the globalConfig.refetchAllOnWindowFocus config option?
- refetchAllOnWindowFocus has been renamed to refetchOnWindowFocus to match the option in the configuration object for useQuery and friends.
Do you use the refetch function returned by useQuery and friends?
- Previously this refetch function would not trigger an actual refetch if the query is not stale.
- Now, calling this refetch will always trigger a refetch, regardless if the query is stale or not.
Do you expect prefetchQuery to skip the first render of useQuery instances that render after it?
- Previously, the first useQuery call after a prefetchQuery would be skipped all the time.
- Now, the staleTime of a prefetchQuery instance is honored. So, if you call prefetchQuery(key, fn, { staletime: 5000 }), and then useQuery(key, fn) is rendered within those initial 5000 milliseconds, the query will not refetch in the background, since it is not stale yet. Likewise, if the stale time has been reached by the time useQuery(key, fn) renders, it will refetch in the background, since it is stale when useQuery mounts/renders.
Do you use prefetchQuery's throwOnError or force options?
- prefetchQuery's throwOnError and force options are now located in a fourth argument, after the query config.
- Before
```
prefetchQuery(key, fn, { ...queryConfig, throwOnError: true, force: true })
```
- After
```
prefetchQuery(key, fn, queryConfig, { throwOnError: true, force: true })
```
Do you call mutate() with additional side-effect callbacks? eg. mutate(vars, { onError, onSuccess, onSettled })
- There are no code changes here, however previously, mutate()-level side effects would run before side-effects defined in useMutation. That order has been reversed to make more sense.
- Now, the side-effect callbacks in useMutation will be fired before their mutate-level counterparts.
- Before
```
const mutate = useMutation(fn, {
  onSuccess: () => console.log('I will run second'),
})

mutate(vars, { onSuccess: () => console.log('I will run first') })
```
- After
```
const mutate = useMutation(fn, {
  onSuccess: () => console.log('I will run first'),
})

mutate(vars, { onSuccess: () => console.log('I will run second') })
```
Do you use setQueryData to update multiple queries with a single query key? eg. setQueryData('todos', newData) and expect queryKeys ['todos', 1] and ['todos', 2] to both get updated?
- setQueryData no longer allows updating multiple queries at once (via prefix matching). If you need to update multiple queries with the same data, you can use the queryCache.getQueries() function to match all of the queries you want, then loop over them and use their query.setData function to set all of them to the same value.

New Features

The booleans isSuccess, isError isLoading and a new one called isIdle have been added to the queryInfo object returned by useQuery (and friends) and useMutation. These are derived safely from the queryInfo.status and are guaranteed to not overlap. In most situations, they are easier to use, less typo-prone than status strings and also more terse for determining what to render based on the status of a query.
```
const queryInfo = useQuery(queryKey, fn)

return queryInfo.isLoading ? (
  'Loading...'
) : queryInfo.isError ? (
  queryInfo.error.message
) : (
  <div>{queryInfo.data}</div>
)
```
queryCaches is now exported, which allows you to clean up all query caches that were created. We do this in our own tests when multiple caches are used for testing and to be thorough.
```
// test.js
import { queryCaches } from 'react-query'

afterEach(() => {
  queryCaches.forEach((queryCache) => queryCache.clear())
})
```
fetchMore now supports an optional previous option, which will determine if the data you are fetching is should be prepended instead of appended to your infinite list. eg, fetchMore(nextPageVars, { previous: true })
```
const { fetchMore } = useInfiniteQuery(queryKey, fn)

return (
  <button
    onClick={() => fetchMore(previousPageVariables, { previous: true })}
  />
)
```
refetchInterval can now be changed on the fly. Check out the auto-refetching example to see it in action!
invalidateQueries (previously refetchQueries) now has an option called refetchActive that when set to false will not refetch matching queries that are active on the page.
makeQueryCache now accepts an optional configuration object. The defaultConfig object is used to override the default query configuration config to use inside of this cache. The frozen option if set to true will simulate React Query being run on the server, where no queries are cached for privacy and safety concerns. This is the default when using React Query on the server and is optional. You can also set it to true on the server and have it work as it would on the client. More information on this coming soon!
