Caching Auth States
I am using tanstack query in my app. Are there guides on implementing caching for authentication w/ tanstack-query and convex?
Also, convex exports
Authenticated, Unauthenticated, AuthLoading components, these are quite useful - but they all use useConvexAuth() under the hood. As far as I could figure out, useConvexAuth() doesn't use any caching.7 Replies

Re - any update?
Caching authentication is a tricky thing. Can you say more about the outcome you're going for or the problem you want to solve in your UX? Delayed initial load maybe?
I have a sidebar that loads in auth state, then list of searches for a user. I want to give my app a more "spa" feel such that the sidebar doesn't have to load on every page change
Hmm if your sidebar is in your layout it shouldn't be reloading when navigating routes that use that layout. Is that your setup?
It is

I'd dig into the TanStack side of this if I were you, that shouldn't be happening. I'm personally only spending so much time troubleshooting tanstack issues because it's still very much a moving target.
