Blob files with react query

[tcvetkoska]

Hello, can we download blob files with react-query?
Also, is there some mechanism that does the promise.all feature?

you can do whatever you want in your queryFn, as long as it returns a Promise. You can e.g. trigger multiple requests and return one Promise with Promise.all

Thanks, so there should not be any issues with downloading a big files with react-query? Because of the caching mechanism I am afraid that it can cause some lagging and issues

[TkDodo]

what is your use-case please? Why would you want to cache a downloaded file?

[tcvetkoska]

We are starting to implement the react-query in our project and I actually want to be sure that I can use react-query, in any case, no matter the file type and to not worry about some edge cases that could happen. Also, I would not like to cache the file that I am downloading, maybe I missed somewhere in the documentation is there a possibility to not cache the requests with react-query?

no, there is no such possibility. If downloading a file is a one-off, possibly happening imperatively, I would just use a mutation for that.
