Introduction

tanstack-query-optimistic-updates is a simple way to apply optimistic updates with TanStack Query.

Motivation

TanStack Query provides APIs to apply optimistic updates. However, applying optimistic updates requires repetitive boilerplate code.

• You must manually define the onMutate, onError, and onSettled callbacks.
• Cache updates, rollback logic, and query invalidations are handled differently across implementations.

tanstack-query-optimistic-updates offers a way to simplify and make more consistent optimistic updates logic across projects.

• Reduce boilerplate: Handles common patterns like snapshotting, rollback, and cache updates are handled internally.
• Enforce consistency: Provide a abstraction for optimistic updates to keep codebases clean and predictable.
• Make optimistic updates easy: Lets you focus on business logic instead of repetitive callback and cache management.
