useInfiniteQuery

info

• Your procedure needs to accept a cursor input of any type
• For more details on infinite queries read the react-query docs
• In this example we're using Prisma - see their docs on cursor-based pagination

Example Procedure

server/routers/_app.ts
tsx
import * as trpc from '@trpc/server';
import { Context } from './[trpc]';
export const appRouter = trpc.router<Context>()
  .query('infinitePosts', {
    input: z.object({
      limit: z.number().min(1).max(100).nullish(),
      cursor: z.number().nullish(), // <-- "cursor" needs to exist, but can be any type
    }),
    async resolve({ input }) {
      const limit = input.limit ?? 50;
      const { cursor } = input;
      const items = await prisma.post.findMany({
        take: limit + 1, // get an extra item at the end which we'll use as next cursor
        where: {
          title: {
            contains: 'Prisma' /* Optional filter */,
          },
        },
        cursor: cursor ? { myCursor: cursor } : undefined,
        orderBy: {
          myCursor: 'asc',
        },
      })
      let nextCursor: typeof cursor | undefined = undefined;
      if (items.length > limit) {
        const nextItem = items.pop()
        nextCursor = nextItem!.myCursor;
      }
      return {
        items,
        nextCursor,
      };
    })

server/routers/_app.ts
tsx
import * as trpc from '@trpc/server';
import { Context } from './[trpc]';
export const appRouter = trpc.router<Context>()
  .query('infinitePosts', {
    input: z.object({
      limit: z.number().min(1).max(100).nullish(),
      cursor: z.number().nullish(), // <-- "cursor" needs to exist, but can be any type
    }),
    async resolve({ input }) {
      const limit = input.limit ?? 50;
      const { cursor } = input;
      const items = await prisma.post.findMany({
        take: limit + 1, // get an extra item at the end which we'll use as next cursor
        where: {
          title: {
            contains: 'Prisma' /* Optional filter */,
          },
        },
        cursor: cursor ? { myCursor: cursor } : undefined,
        orderBy: {
          myCursor: 'asc',
        },
      })
      let nextCursor: typeof cursor | undefined = undefined;
      if (items.length > limit) {
        const nextItem = items.pop()
        nextCursor = nextItem!.myCursor;
      }
      return {
        items,
        nextCursor,
      };
    })

Example React Component

components/MyComponent.tsx
tsx
import { trpc } from '../utils/trpc';
export function MyComponent() {
  const myQuery = trpc.useInfiniteQuery(
    [
      'infinitePosts',
      {
        limit: 10,
      },
    ],
    {
      getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
    },
  );
  // [...]
}

components/MyComponent.tsx
tsx
import { trpc } from '../utils/trpc';
export function MyComponent() {
  const myQuery = trpc.useInfiniteQuery(
    [
      'infinitePosts',
      {
        limit: 10,
      },
    ],
    {
      getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
    },
  );
  // [...]
}

Helpers

getInfiniteQueryData()

This helper gets the currently cached data from an existing infinite query

components/MyComponent.tsx
tsx
import { trpc } from '../utils/trpc';
export function MyComponent() {
  const utils = trpc.useContext();
  const myMutation = trpc.useMutation('infinitePosts.add', {
    onMutate({ post }) {
      await utils.cancelQuery(['infinitePosts']);
      const allPosts = utils.getInfiniteQueryData(['infinitePosts', { limit: 10 }]);
      // [...]
    }
  })
}

components/MyComponent.tsx
tsx
import { trpc } from '../utils/trpc';
export function MyComponent() {
  const utils = trpc.useContext();
  const myMutation = trpc.useMutation('infinitePosts.add', {
    onMutate({ post }) {
      await utils.cancelQuery(['infinitePosts']);
      const allPosts = utils.getInfiniteQueryData(['infinitePosts', { limit: 10 }]);
      // [...]
    }
  })
}

setInfiniteQueryData()

This helper allows you to update a queries cached data

components/MyComponent.tsx
tsx
import { trpc } from '../utils/trpc';
export function MyComponent() {
  const utils = trpc.useContext();
  const myMutation = trpc.useMutation('infinitePosts.delete', {
    onMutate({ post }) {
      await utils.cancelQuery(['infinitePosts']);
      utils.setInfiniteQueryData(['infinitePosts', { limit: 10 }], (data) => {
        if (!data) {
          return {
            pages: [],
            pageParams: []
          }
        }
        return {
          ...data,
          pages: data.pages.map((page) => {
            ...page,
            items: page.items.filter((item) => item.status === 'published')
          })
        }
      });
    }
  });
  // [...]
}

components/MyComponent.tsx
tsx
import { trpc } from '../utils/trpc';
export function MyComponent() {
  const utils = trpc.useContext();
  const myMutation = trpc.useMutation('infinitePosts.delete', {
    onMutate({ post }) {
      await utils.cancelQuery(['infinitePosts']);
      utils.setInfiniteQueryData(['infinitePosts', { limit: 10 }], (data) => {
        if (!data) {
          return {
            pages: [],
            pageParams: []
          }
        }
        return {
          ...data,
          pages: data.pages.map((page) => {
            ...page,
            items: page.items.filter((item) => item.status === 'published')
          })
        }
      });
    }
  });
