getQueryKey

We provide a getQueryKey helper that accepts a router or procedure so that you can easily provide the native function the correct query key.

tsx
// Queries
declare function getQueryKey(
procedure: AnyQueryProcedure,
input?: DeepPartial<TInput>,
type?: QueryType, /** @default 'any' */
): TRPCQueryKey;
 
// Routers
declare function getQueryKey(
router: AnyRouter,
): TRPCQueryKey;
 
type QueryType = "query" | "infinite" | "any";
// for useQuery ──┘ │ │
// for useInfiniteQuery ────┘ │
// will match all ───────────────────────┘
tsx
// Queries
declare function getQueryKey(
procedure: AnyQueryProcedure,
input?: DeepPartial<TInput>,
type?: QueryType, /** @default 'any' */
): TRPCQueryKey;
 
// Routers
declare function getQueryKey(
router: AnyRouter,
): TRPCQueryKey;
 
type QueryType = "query" | "infinite" | "any";
// for useQuery ──┘ │ │
// for useInfiniteQuery ────┘ │
// will match all ───────────────────────┘
note

The query type any will match all queries in the cache only if the react query method where it's used uses fuzzy matching. See TanStack/query#5111 (comment) for more context.

tsx
import { useIsFetching, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { getQueryKey } from '@trpc/react-query';
import { trpc } from './utils/trpc';
 
function MyComponent() {
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
 
const posts = trpc.post.list.useQuery();
 
// See if a query is fetching
const postListKey = getQueryKey(trpc.post.list, undefined, 'query');
const isFetching = useIsFetching({ queryKey: postListKey });
 
// Set some query defaults for an entire router
const postKey = getQueryKey(trpc.post);
queryClient.setQueryDefaults(postKey, { staleTime: 30 * 60 * 1000 });
 
// ...
}
tsx
import { useIsFetching, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { getQueryKey } from '@trpc/react-query';
import { trpc } from './utils/trpc';
 
function MyComponent() {
const queryClient = useQueryClient();
 
const posts = trpc.post.list.useQuery();
 
// See if a query is fetching
const postListKey = getQueryKey(trpc.post.list, undefined, 'query');
const isFetching = useIsFetching({ queryKey: postListKey });
 
// Set some query defaults for an entire router
const postKey = getQueryKey(trpc.post);
queryClient.setQueryDefaults(postKey, { staleTime: 30 * 60 * 1000 });
 
// ...
}

Mutations

Similarly to queries, we provide a getMutationKey for mutations. The underlying function is the same as getQueryKey (in fact, you could technically use getQueryKey for mutations as well), the only difference is in semantics.

tsx
import { getMutationKey } from '@trpc/react-query';
const mutationKey = getMutationKey(trpc.user.create);
tsx
import { getMutationKey } from '@trpc/react-query';
const mutationKey = getMutationKey(trpc.user.create);
