The rituals for all my projects
1 minute read
This is a frequently updated post where I help myself by documenting rituals to be followed when setting up projects I am handling.

// In Next.js, this file would be called: app/providers.tsx
'use client'
// Since QueryClientProvider relies on useContext under the hood, we have to put 'use client' on top
import {
isServer,
QueryClient,
QueryClientProvider,
} from '@tanstack/react-query'
function makeQueryClient() {
return new QueryClient({
defaultOptions: {
queries: {
// With SSR, we usually want to set some default staleTime
// above 0 to avoid refetching immediately on the client
staleTime: 60 * 1000,
},
},
})
}
let browserQueryClient: QueryClient | undefined = undefined
function getQueryClient() {
if (isServer) {
// Server: always make a new query client
return makeQueryClient()
} else {
// Browser: make a new query client if we don't already have one
// This is very important, so we don't re-make a new client if React
// suspends during the initial render. This may not be needed if we
// have a suspense boundary BELOW the creation of the query client
if (!browserQueryClient) browserQueryClient = makeQueryClient()
return browserQueryClient
}
}
export default function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
// NOTE: Avoid useState when initializing the query client if you don't
// have a suspense boundary between this and the code that may
// suspend because React will throw away the client on the initial
// render if it suspends and there is no boundary
const queryClient = getQueryClient()
return (
<QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>
)
}// In Next.js, this file would be called: app/layout.tsx
import Providers from './providers'
export default function RootLayout({
children,

children: React.ReactNode
}) {
