Ensure correct order of inference-sensitive properties in useMutation()

Section titled “Ensure correct order of inference-sensitive properties in useMutation()”

For the following functions, the property order of the passed in object matters due to type inference:

  • useMutation()

The correct property order is as follows:

  • onMutate
  • onError
  • onSettled

All other properties are insensitive to the order as they do not depend on type inference.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/* eslint "@tanstack/query/mutation-property-order": "warn" */
import { useMutation } from '@tanstack/react-query'
const mutation = useMutation({
mutationFn: () => Promise.resolve('success'),
onSettled: () => {
results.push('onSettled-promise')
return Promise.resolve('also-ignored') // Promise<string> (should be ignored)
},
onMutate: async () => {
results.push('onMutate-async')
await sleep(1)
return { backup: 'async-data' }
},
onError: async () => {
results.push('onError-async-start')
await sleep(1)
results.push('onError-async-end')
},
})

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/* eslint "@tanstack/query/mutation-property-order": "warn" */
import { useMutation } from '@tanstack/react-query'
const mutation = useMutation({
mutationFn: () => Promise.resolve('success'),
onMutate: async () => {
results.push('onMutate-async')
await sleep(1)
return { backup: 'async-data' }
},
onError: async () => {
results.push('onError-async-start')
await sleep(1)
results.push('onError-async-end')
},
onSettled: () => {
results.push('onSettled-promise')
return Promise.resolve('also-ignored') // Promise<string> (should be ignored)
},
})
