FocusManager

Source URL: https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/reference/focusManager

The FocusManager manages the focus state within TanStack Query.

It can be used to change the default event listeners or to manually change the focus state.

Its available methods are:

setEventListener can be used to set a custom event listener:

import { focusManager } from '@tanstack/react-query'
focusManager.setEventListener((handleFocus) => {
// Listen to visibilitychange
if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.addEventListener) {
window.addEventListener('visibilitychange', handleFocus, false)
}
return () => {
// Be sure to unsubscribe if a new handler is set
window.removeEventListener('visibilitychange', handleFocus)
}
})

subscribe can be used to subscribe to changes in the visibility state. It returns an unsubscribe function:

import { focusManager } from '@tanstack/react-query'
const unsubscribe = focusManager.subscribe((isVisible) => {
console.log('isVisible', isVisible)
})

setFocused can be used to manually set the focus state. Set undefined to fall back to the default focus check.

import { focusManager } from '@tanstack/react-query'
// Set focused
focusManager.setFocused(true)
// Set unfocused
focusManager.setFocused(false)
// Fallback to the default focus check
focusManager.setFocused(undefined)

Options

  • focused: boolean | undefined

isFocused can be used to get the current focus state.

const isFocused = focusManager.isFocused()
