How should I handle query filters with the new Infinite query feature ?

Hey there !

As title says I'm using the new Infinite query feature and it's amazing ! Small question though, my API endpoint accepts a set of filters (I'm using nestjs-paginate for that https://www.npmjs.com/package/nestjs-paginate), how should I handle them in the infinite query payload ?

• If I put them in the pageArg argument I feel the query isn't reexecuted if my filters change (even though my component is updated), and I feel it's not where they belong. pageArg should only include what's needed when page changes right ?
• Should I put them in the queryArg like I used to in a regular query ?

Thanks for your help !

Yeah, I'd say that conceptually filters are part of your query args, as they define "the set of responses we're going to get". The page params represent "each individual page from this set of responses". Change the filters, different query arg, different set of responses.

That's what I thought but I'm glad you confirmed it. Thanks for the quick answer ! 🙏
