"null" as queryKey

Hi all, We are using createQueryKeys(...) from the query-key-factory so I believe technically, having queryKey: null works. Is it still best practice to explicitly list a queryKey? What would be the argument to use something other than null if everything is being passed through the factory?

For example:

export const monitors = createQueryKeys('monitors', {
  list: {
    queryKey: null,
    queryFn: ({ signal }) => {
      return UptimeService().getMonitors(signal);
    },
  },
});

export const monitors = createQueryKeys('monitors', {
  list: {
    queryKey: null,
    queryFn: ({ signal }) => {
      return UptimeService().getMonitors(signal);
    },
  },
});

this doesn't work because queryKey needs to be an array

hi @TkDodo 🔮 , thank you for the response. That is what I thought, but the docs on: https://github.com/lukemorales/query-key-factory have this:

Maybe that package has a different api, idk

Got it. I think I confused your reference to a query-key-factory with that specific library. Thank you for the clarification
