Type parameters

NameType
Argsextends Record<string, Value>

Type declaration

▸ (localQueryStore, args): void

A temporary, local update to query results within this client.

This update will always be executed when a mutation is synced to the Convex server and rolled back when the mutation completes.

Note that optimistic updates can be called multiple times! If the client loads new data while the mutation is in progress, the update will be replayed again.

Parameters
NameTypeDescription
localQueryStoreOptimisticLocalStoreAn interface to read and edit local query results.
argsArgsThe arguments to the mutation.
Returns

void

QueryJournal

Ƭ QueryJournal: string | null

A serialized representation of decisions made during a query's execution.

A journal is produced when a query function first executes and is re-used when a query is re-executed.

Currently this is used to store pagination end cursors to ensure that pages of paginated queries will always end at the same cursor. This enables gapless, reactive pagination.

null is used to represent empty journals.

Defined in

browser/sync/protocol.ts:112


QueryToken

Ƭ QueryToken: string

A string representing the name and arguments of a query.

This is used by the BaseConvexClient.
