Optimistic delete with infinite (i.e. paginated) query? #7789
-
|
I have a UI consisting of an infinite list of items, and the user can delete items with a mutation. What kind of considerations need to be made when doing optimistic removals to an infinite paginated query? Does anyone have a real-life-applicable example? |

with optimistic updates, you ideally do exactly what the server will also do. |

Well yeah, but with the paged response, I just delete that item from the cache, now that page only has 9 items while the page size is supposed to be 10. I was just wondering if that would cause any unforeseen weirdness with the way |

you can shift items around from the follow-up pages, but then the last page will only have 9 items until you refetch. I don't think it matters much which page is the one where one item is missing |

Well in my case the items are shown in the UI as an infinitely scrolling list so I just removed the items from each page as needed and it ended up working fine. Good point about paginated UIs though - something for others to keep in mind if they aren't doing infinite scrolling. |
