function Example() {
  const { data: firstQuery } = trpc.example.someQuery.useQuery();
  const { data: secondQuery } = trpc.example.someQuery.useQuery({
    id: firstQuery.data.ids
  }, {
    enabled: !!firstQuery?.ids
  });

  return (...)
}

function Example() {
  const { data: firstQuery } = trpc.example.someQuery.useQuery();
  const { data: secondQuery } = trpc.example.someQuery.useQuery({
    id: firstQuery.data.ids
  }, {
    enabled: !!firstQuery?.ids
  });

  return (...)
}

But, you could probably make your backend handle this instead of doing 2 queries.

yea, chances are you want this to be one query that makes two database requests round trips are expensive

Of course, but in my specific case i am mapping the first query with data that is only available client and i don't want it to be passed to the server

So the second query takes in information that the backend should not have?

Im still running into an issue, tho:

trpc.example.someQuery.useQuery({
    ids: firstQuery.data!.ids // data is undefined ! didn't work
  }, {
    enabled: !!firstQuery.data?.ids
  });

trpc.example.someQuery.useQuery({
    ids: firstQuery.data!.ids // data is undefined ! didn't work
  }, {
    enabled: !!firstQuery.data?.ids
  });

yup

Of course it's undefined if you destructured it Just use the ? operator btw

DariOP•2y ago

Not working, because ids cant be undefined / null

barry•2y ago

And it's firstQuery?.ids, there is no data property if you copied my code

DariOP•2y ago

no i didn't destruct it

👍 Just gotta tell TypeScript to shut up then

DariOP•2y ago

but it leads to a runtime error

barry•2y ago

What if you pass a default that fits the requirements

DariOP•2y ago

never mind sorry you are absolutely right with ? it worked and it's just typescript complaining Thank you very much
