How to Update React Query Data from Socket Messages Without Refetching?
Hey guys,
I am currently working on a chat application where I am utilizing React Query to manage my server state. Initially, I perform a GET request to fetch the existing messages from an endpoint when the app is loaded. Following this, all the new messages are received through a socket connection as users interact in the chat.
My challenge is finding the most efficient way to update the data managed by React Query with the new messages received from the socket connection without triggering a refetch from the server, to maintain a smooth user experience. I would like to update the state handled by React Query directly with the new messages.
Could anyone guide me on how to accomplish this? Any pointers or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
