I'm trying to get the list of the chats in my app using react-query(useQuery). my API call is in a different component and I'm using Axios to get the data. but the component is returning the function itself not the data .which part is Wrong?
import { useQuery } from "react-query";
import axios from "axios";
const getContacts = async () => {
const headers = { Authorization: localStorage.getItem("token") };
const options = {
method: "GET",
url: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/chat/mine/",
headers: headers,
};
const { data } = await axios.request(options);
return data;
};
function GetUserDataUseQuery() {
return useQuery("getContacts", getContacts);
}
export default GetUserDataUseQuery;
function getUserData() {
const data = GetUserDataUseQuery;
return (dispatch) => {
dispatch({
type: GET_CONTACTS,
payload: [],
});
};
}
I suggest you refactor your code a little to fix some of your problems:
const getContacts = async () => { /*...*/ }
const useGetContacts = () {
return useQuery('getContacts', getContacts)
}
// `useGetContacts` is a hook, so it should be called inside of a
// component or another hook - you *cannot* call a hook inside of a
// simple function, which is what you're attempting to do inside `getUserData`
function MyComponent() {
const contacts = useGetContacts();
// ...
}
Alternatively, if you do want to use getContacts as if it was a function, then simply don't wrap it inside a useQuery, since that's what turns it into a hook.
async function getUserData() {
const data = await getContacts()
// ...
}
