🎯 Changes

  • useQuery JSDoc: rewrite the @returns of every overload to describe the result status and the derived boolean refs:
    • The overload selected when initialData is defined: status is success, or error if a fetch attempt fails while keeping the existing data, and isSuccess/isError are derived boolean refs.
    • The other overload and the fallback overload: status is pending, error, or success, and isPending/isSuccess/isError are derived boolean refs.
  • Describe state in every @returns as one readonly reactive object whose fields are plain values, matching the state property's own JSDoc and the returned readonly/shallowReadonly object, and note that state.status === 'success' narrows state.data where data can be undefined.
  • Regenerate the useQuery reference doc.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I have followed the AI contribution policy and fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified how query status and its related boolean indicators reflect fetch outcomes.
    • Explained that query state is readonly and reactive, and that successful status narrows the data type.
    • Documented that existing data may remain available when a fetch fails.

Walkthrough

The Vue useQuery source comments and reference now describe state as a readonly reactive object with plain-value properties. They document success-status narrowing of state.data to TData and status outcomes for each overload. The defined-initial-data overload documentation states that its status excludes pending. Reference links point to updated source lines.

The overload comments and reference describe state as a readonly reactive object with plain-value properties. They document success-based narrowing of state.data to TData and status outcomes.

Document that state is readonly.

In Vue 3, assigning to state.data does not update the query. Mark state as readonly in each overload and direct users to queryClient.setQueryData to update cached query data.

Describe selector errors separately.

If select throws on its first call, the observer reports error with data undefined, even when initialData exists. No fetch needs to fail. Distinguish the declared type from this runtime case so callers do not rely on retained data. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Qualify readonly behavior for Vue 2.6.

With Vue 2.6, the default readonly() wrapper provides only a type-level check. JavaScript can therefore mutate state.data without updating the query cache. Document this limitation and direct users to queryClient.setQueryData for cache updates. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Correct the status conditions.

A failed attempt can leave status as pending or success while retries remain. A final refetch failure can produce error while data remains available. Also, placeholderData can produce success before cached data exists. Describe these states in terms of the observer result rather than the last attempt or cache presence alone.
