placeholderData and loading state

[bacarybruno]

Heyo everyone 👋

I want to apply placeholderData: keepPreviousData in the default options of my query client. I want to do it to avoid hard loading states when data is available. But apparently, defining placeholderData: keepPreviousData means that we'll never have a hard loading state.

I still want to hard that hard loading state when the query is loading for the first time.
Or said differently, I want to apply placeholderData: keepPreviousData only after the first loading. Is it doable? 🙏

there should be a hard loading state when there is no data in the cache when the component mounts. Can you show an example?

I cannot reproduce consistently. I'll try to setup a minimal repro and see what conditions triggers the issue I had
