Temp refetchInterval

[romansndlr]

Hey all, I work in an event-sourced environment, and a lot of the time we need to wait for all the async messages to be registered before we can redirect the user. I would like to have a possibility in react-query to set up a temporary refect interval. So basically adding the ability to pass milliseconds to this property that define for how long we want to run this "poling" from the API.

Have you had a look at the auto refetching example?

if you set refetchInterval to false, the polling will stop. If you want to have polling enabled every second, but only for like 10 seconds, I would suggest doing a custom useEffect with a setTimeout that will then after 10 seconds set a state value to false, which will trigger a re-render and thus turn off refetching.

does that make sense?
