Is there a way to immediately handle error when retry is enabled?

[aak-lear]

How can I immediately handle error on first failed request? When retry option is enabled, useQuery ignores all errors while retrying to fetch data.

Only when retry attempts is finished, useQuery changes all error states like isError, isLoadingError, isRefetchError and calls onError callback. Is there a way to immediately handle error on the first try?

Use case

When session is expired, and client send request to backend, there will be an error 401 in the response.
In that case I know that all retry attempts on this request will get the same error and I want to handle this error immediately. For example, to refresh session or redirect to "Session Expired" page. Otherwise user will be forced to wait while retry cycle ends.

you can set retry to a function and return false if the error is a 401 error to not retry.

this is documented here: https://tanstack.com/query/v4/docs/guides/query-retries

Setting retry = (failureCount, error) => ... allows for custom logic based on why the request failed.
