3 months ago Yes, there are multiple points where you could hook in. I'm not sure what your schema and queries look like, so it's difficult to give concrete advice.
But general pointers are:
The .request() method returns a stream, and the stream keeps listening to cache updates.
So you can
- manually update cache data using
cache.writeQuery(),cache.writeFragment() - update the cache in response to other queries using cache handlers https://ferrygraphql.com/docs/mutations#updating-the-cache
- using typehelpers to structure your cache to merge queries that use paging, see https://ferrygraphql.com/docs/cache-configuration#the-fields-property
- predefined data can be used using optimisticResponse
Let's say you have a normal query (https://ferrygraphql.com/docs/queries) but you wish to programatically update the data, depending on some other logic; how can this be done?
Or even build a request with som predefined data / set the cache with some predefined data?
The issue is that I have a query to fetch all genres, and for each genre, there's 10 movies. When you scroll further in the movie list, I need to load 10 more movies (but not 10 more genres).
One way to achieve this would be to have a query to fetch movies for a genre; and when you fetch the genres list, the cache for the queries to fetch movies is set to the data from the genres query.
