What does "query mount" means on Angular?
I know what "mount" means in react, but I'm not sure what does that term mean in Angular. It's mentioned a couple of times in the docs.

Initialization is the term I usually replace mount with for Angular. I'll go through the docs again to check for leftover "mount" mentions
PR welcome too of course

So "initialization" is when InjectQuery is called?

Which exact case are you referring to?
extended-salmonOP•17mo ago
For example it says that a stale query is "automatically fetched on mount"
But there were other scenarios

Yes when it's initialized or maybe injected is a more correct term
Although it's now done lazily either when a signal is read or on next tick to support required signals

What do you mean by that?
quickest-silver•17mo ago
To support
input.required for example. If that signal would be read too early an exception would be thrown. injectQuery should "just work" without having to be bothered by component lifecycle. To make that possible I made the query initialization lazy, either on signal read or on next tick.extended-salmonOP•17mo ago
Does that mean that the callback of
injectQuery will not be called in injection context anymore? Please see my other question on the topicquickest-silver•17mo ago
Probably yes

That's a big problem, because it will make it very hard to share query options with dependencies
We shoul probably set it up so injection will "just work" in every function.
