MutationCache

The MutationCache is the storage for mutations.

Normally, you will not interact with the MutationCache directly and instead use the QueryClient.

import { MutationCache } from 'react-query'

const mutationCache = new MutationCache({
  onError: error => {
    console.log(error)
  },
  onSuccess: data => {
    console.log(data)
  },
})

import { MutationCache } from 'react-query'

const mutationCache = new MutationCache({
  onError: error => {
    console.log(error)
  },
  onSuccess: data => {
    console.log(data)
  },
})

Its available methods are:

• getAll
• subscribe
• clear

Options

• onError?: (error: unknown, variables: unknown, context: unknown, mutation: Mutation) => void
  • Optional
  • This function will be called if some mutation encounters an error.
• onSuccess?: (data: unknown, variables: unknown, context: unknown, mutation: Mutation) => void
  • Optional
  • This function will be called if some mutation is successful.
• onMutate?: (variables: unknown, mutation: Mutation) => void
  • Optional
  • This function will be called before some mutation executes.

The onError, onSuccess and onMutate callbacks on the MutationCache can be used to handle these events on a global level. They are different to defaultOptions provided to the QueryClient because:

• defaultOptions can be overridden by each Mutation - the global callbacks will always be called.
• onMutate does not allow returning a context value.

getAll returns all mutations within the cache.

Note: This is not typically needed for most applications, but can come in handy when needing more information about a mutation in rare scenarios

const mutations = mutationCache.getAll()

const mutations = mutationCache.getAll()

Returns

• Mutation[]
  • Mutation instances from the cache

The subscribe method can be used to subscribe to the mutation cache as a whole and be informed of safe/known updates to the cache like mutation states changing or mutations being updated, added or removed.

const callback = mutation => {
  console.log(mutation)
}

const unsubscribe = mutationCache.subscribe(callback)

const callback = mutation => {
  console.log(mutation)
}

const unsubscribe = mutationCache.subscribe(callback)

Options

• callback: (mutation?: Mutation) => void
  • This function will be called with the mutation cache any time it is updated.

Returns

• unsubscribe: Function => void
  • This function will unsubscribe the callback from the mutation cache.

The clear method can be used to clear the cache entirely and start fresh.

mutationCache.clear()
