Why isnt `useQuery` returning a cached result right away?
When i use
convex.query(someQuery) in a loader and in a sub component i use useQuery(someQuery), the query doesn't return a result right away. I would have expected that the value is cached somehow. Isn't that the case? I would love to use loaders to ensure data is there but i don't want to use useLoaderData() because I loose the real time capabilities of the one-off-query i request in the loader
Any insights would be appreciated. The docs say
Convex caches query results automatically. If many clients request the same query, with the same arguments, they will receive a cached response.So I expected an instant result. But its always
undefined first which leads to flashing of wrong component stateQueries | Convex Developer Hub
