I'm new in RTK Query and I'm struggling with a use case I have to implement.
Scenario: I have to merge the results from two API calls: the first API call is a private API call while the second one is a public API call. I need to merge the responses from these two APIs and write the computed result into the RTK cache so the UI can update accordingly.
Problem:
I'seeing that as soon as the await queryFullfilled
is invoked, RTK Query immediately write into its cache the response from that API call and then when I make my calculation and try to update the RTK cache with apiSlice.util.updateQueryData
the cache will change again. That's means that the UI will render twice, the first time using a wrong value (an array of persons) and the second time with the correct value (the JSON composed by ids and entities).
Question:
Is there a way to have just 1 write into the RTK cache so I can have just the computed value I need ? Because what is happening is that for some instances I'm having into the cache an array
while I need the {ids: [...], entities: {}}
JSON.
import { createEntityAdapter } from '@reduxjs/toolkit';
import axios from 'axios';
export const personsAdapter = createEntityAdapter();
const permitsInitialState = personsAdapter.getInitialState();
export const apiSlice = myServiceApi.injectEndpoints({
endpoints: (builder) => ({
getPersons: builder.query({
query: () => ({ url: '/persons', method: 'get' }),
onQueryStarted: async (_, { dispatch, queryFulfilled }) => {
try {
// Resolving the private API call
const { data: persons } = await queryFulfilled;
// Just a random public API call
const { data: todos } = await axios('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos');
const enhancedPersons = /** Here the logic that merge the todos and the persons */
const state = personsAdapter.setAll(permitsInitialState, enhancedPermits);
dispatch(
apiSlice.util.updateQueryData('getPersons', _, (draft) => {
Object.assign(draft, state);
})
);
} catch (e) {
console.error(e);
}
},
}),
}),
});

That is one of the use cases of queryFn: Performing multiple requests with a single query
import {
createApi,
fetchBaseQuery,
FetchBaseQueryError,
} from '@reduxjs/toolkit/query'
import { Post, User } from './types'
const api = createApi({
baseQuery: fetchBaseQuery({ baseUrl: '/ ' }),
endpoints: (build) => ({
getRandomUserPosts: build.query<Post, void>({
async queryFn(_arg, _queryApi, _extraOptions, fetchWithBQ) {
// get a random user
const randomResult = await fetchWithBQ('users/random')
if (randomResult.error) throw randomResult.error
const user = randomResult.data as User
const result = await fetchWithBQ(`user/${user.id}/posts`)
return result.data
? { data: result.data as Post }
: { error: result.error as FetchBaseQueryError }
},
}),
}),
})
