I have a page that consists of 2 components and each of them has its own request for data for example
<MovieInfo movieId={queryParamsId}/>
const GET_MOVIE_INFO = `gql
query($id: String!){
movie(id: $id){
name
description
}
}`
Next component
<MovieActors movieId={queryParamsId}/>
const GET_MOVIE_ACTORS = `gql
query($id: String!){
movie(id: $id){
actors
}
}`
For each of these queries I use apollo hook
const { data, loading, error } = useQuery(GET_DATA, {variable: {id: queryParamsId}}))
Everything is fine, but I got a warning message:
Cache data may be lost when replacing the movie field of a Query object. To address this problem (which is not a bug in Apollo Client), either ensure all objects of type Movie have IDs, or define a custom merge function for the Query.movie field, so InMemoryCache can safely merge these objects: { ... }
It's works ok with google chrome, but this error affects Safari browser. Everything is crushing. I'm 100% sure it's because of this warning message. On the first request, I set Movie data in the cache, on the second request to the same query I just replace old data with new, so previous cached data is undefined. How can I resolve this problem?
Solved!
cache: new InMemoryCache({
typePolicies: {
Query: {
fields: {
YOUR_FIELD: {
merge(existing = [], incoming: any) {
return { ...existing, ...incoming };
// this part of code depends on what you actually need to do
// in my case I had to save my incoming data as single object in cache
}
}
}
}
}
})
});
