Pass though queryKey on useQuery

[jimthedev]

Hi @tannerlinsley,

One thing that would be nice is to return the queryKey on the object returned from the useQuery hook.

Would you consider this?

What is your use case? Tanner Linsley

Please reopen with a use case and we can discuss more :)

Hey sorry, been running around a bit.

Anyhow, the use case is for someone who is creating a redistributable subey'ed queries in redistributable custom hooks. We want to return the final key so that it can be used for refetching. It is totally an optimization, pure and simple:

this works:

// definition
function useMyCustomHook (subkey) {
  const queryKey="apple" + subkey;
  return {
   queryKey,
    ...useQuery(queryKey);
}

// usage
const { queryKey } = useMyCustomHook('banana')

but this would be preferable:

// definition
function useMyCustomHook (subkey) {
  return useQuery('apple'+subkey)
}

// usage
const { queryKey } = useMyCustomHook('banana')

Cheers.

@tannerlinsley Looks like I could open a new issue or you can open this one, whatever you prefer. Didn't want to dupe the issues board if you decide this isn't something you'd want.
