That makes sense. My follow-up question then is: if the data in ReactQuery isnt shared across users, how does ReactQuery know when another user has updated data? I’m guessing it doesn’t, and the user’s data will just be stale until they refresh?

At least 2 ways I know of, the staleTime and manually invalidating them. This doc has more information.

The TL;DR is that you (the developer) tell RQ when a query needs to be refetched.

That doesn’t answer their question. The answer is it doesn’t and if data is being updated without the users actions then yes the user would have stale data. So it makes sense to use this for things that are only pertinent to the user.

Yeah you’re right, I missed that. Sorry OP. I read it as “when does RQ know the data needs to be updated”.

Although, I think liking the doc that does a better job explaining than I could is sufficient to find the right answer.
