[RTK Query] Clearing whole API for new user session

[ayushsharma82]

Hi,

I'm using RTK Query in my React Native app and I would like to know if there is any way we can clear the whole API for new user session? What I'm trying to achieve is to reset all query hooks and mark them uninitialized.

Please let me know if someone has found a way to do this. I'll mark this as a feature request for RTK query ( Feature: a reset function ).

Thanks for the amazing library.

Is this what you need? resetApiState

[phryneas]

resetApiState alone will not reset the hooks, as the hooks are written to always keep the "last known state" in data. They have the currentData property in the 1.7 beta though, which would reset with that.

@phryneas Thanks for the clarity on this topic! So should I try the 1.7@beta-1 release?

[markerikson]

@ayushsharma82 yes, please do! we'd appreciate any feedback on the new functionality overall.

[ayushsharma82]

One Question: Do we also mark them uninitialized with v1.7?

[phryneas]

Nope, not at this moment.

[ayushsharma82]

So I've tested v1.7.0@beta-1 with my app which is near to production. Everything seems to run smoothly and resetApiState seems to reset all data in the queries.

[ayushsharma82]

A function to reset all internal hooks like isUnitialized, isSuccess etc. would be a lot helpful as my placeholder components depend on it. Right now, data seems to be re-fetched after dispatching resetApiState but the internal hooks being set to retain their state ( isSuccess being true from previous execution etc ) break the loading state of the application.

[phryneas]

Yeah, I agree that using resetApiState should also reset the hooks. I'll see if I can find a quick fix. Would you be willing to do some testing with that?

[ayushsharma82]

Sure, I'll test your changes. Thanks for the effort.

[ayushsharma82]

Fixed with #1735

[bryanprimus]

is there a way to use resetApiState but only for certain endpoint, not the whole API?

[phryneas]

No, you can only rerun the query or stop using it.
