How to keep placeholder data if the initial fetch fails

If the initial fetch fails, is there a way to keep the 
placeholderData
 (note, i cant use 
initialData
 as it messes up with my stale time option) instead of 
data
 becoming 
undefined
. I want 
placeholderData
 to be empty array, but as soon as the fetch fails, it becomes undefined which breaks my UI. No matter how i structure my query function, the data always becomes undefined and I have to use conditional chaining.
