React-query-keys NPM

react-query-keys

helps create unique query keys for use with the react-query package. inspired by the query-key-factory package but less extensive and therefore simpler to use.

Prerequisites

The purpose of this package is to make it easier to configure query keys for use with React Query library. You don't need that to use this package, but it is pretty much useless without it

$ yarn add @tanstack/react-query

Project Name

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Installation

To install the library, run:

$ npm install react-query-keys

Or if you prefer using Yarn:

$ yarn add react-query-keys

Usage

Creating your keys

import ReactQueryKeys from "react-query-keys";

// the name of this section of the app
const keysName = "customers";

const queryKeyConfig = {
  keyDefinitions: {
    list: {
      dynamicVariableNames: ["productCount", "customerId"],
    },
    detail: {
      dynamicVariableNames: ["customerId"],
    },
    pagedList: {
      childOf: "list",
      dynamicVariableNames: ["skip", "take"],
    },
  },
};

// create an instance of your keys for this section. I like to do this once for each section of an app and split my queries accordingly
const customerQueryKeys = new ReactQueryKeys(keysName, queryKeyConfig);

Using your keys

import { useQuery, useMutation } from "@tanstack/react-query";

const useGetCustomersQuery = (customerId: string) =>
  useQuery(
    customerQueryKeys.key("list", { customerId }), // resolves to ['customers', 'list', { customerId }]
    () => getCustomers(customerId)
  );

const useCreateCustomerQuery = () =>
  useMutation(
    ({ customerId, customer }: { customerId: string; customer: Customer }) =>
      createCustomer(customer),
    {
      // invalidate all queries that contain ['customer', 'list'] in their key
      onSuccess: () =>
        reactQueryClient.invalidateQueries(customerQueryKeys.key("list")),
    }
  );

API

all

ReactQueryKeys.all();

Returns top level key for this instance. You can use this to refer to all other keys created with this instance. For example given a key ['customers', 'list'], reactQueryKeys.all() would return ['customers'].

key

ReactQueryKeys.key(name: string, dynamicValues?: Record<string, any>)

Get the value of a specific key with option to provide an object literal with dynamic values, thus creating different query keys as the given values change.

Configuration

config

Name	Type
keyDefinitions	Record<string, { childOf?: string, dynamicVariableNames?: string[] }>

Use the config constructor parameter to create your query keys instance. Each keyName refers to query key you want to be able to use for this instance. You can configure each key to be a child of another key, thus making the key dependent on the childOf key. You can also provide dynamicVariableNames which are the property names for any dynamic values you would like to include in your key. For example to use the value { customerId: '123' } in your key, you would have dynamicVariableNames include 'customerId'.
