invalidateQueries behaviour

[Slmii]

So a question about invalidateQueries, cause I am not sure of thats the way it works or not.

Lets say I have a query in Component A, and I navigate to Page B, where Component A is not visible/mounted.
I run invalidateQueries on the query from Component A in Component B and navigate back to the page that mounts Component A.

What I thought would happen is that when running invalidateQueries anywhere the query would be invalidated/refetched in the background the moment it runs, but what happens instead is, the query invalidates/refetches the moment when Component A mounts.

Is this expected behaviour?

yes, because invalidation will:

• refetch all active / currently used queries
• will mark all other (inactive) queries as stale so that they can be refetched the next type they are used.

if you want to always refetch, use refetchQueries instead
