Refetch on focus interval

[clicktodev]

Currently if a request returns an error then it will infinitely refetch on focus if it keeps returning an error.
Is there a way to add an interval so that for example the refetch on focus retries every 5 minutes.
Perhaps only add the interval to failed requests.

why infinitely? It should only fetch for how long you have retry specified, which is 3 times per default.

you can use the refetchInterval option to do an interval fetching

Perhaps only add the interval to failed requests.

For that, you'd need to turn the refetchInterval on/off depending on the query state, which you'd need likely need to capture in local state. something like:

const [hasError, setHasError] = useState(false)
useQuery(
  key,
  fn,
  {
    onSettled: (data, error) => setHasError(!!error)
    refetchInterval: hasError ? 5 * 60 * 1000 : 0
  }
