+# TanStack Query (React Query) v5
+
+**Status**: Production Ready ✅
+**Last Updated**: 2025-10-22
+**Dependencies**: React 18.0+, TypeScript 4.7+ (recommended)
+**Latest Versions**: @tanstack/react-query@5.90.5, @tanstack/react-query-devtools@5.90.2
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start (5 Minutes)
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+npm install @tanstack/react-query@latest
+npm install -D @tanstack/react-query-devtools@latest
+```
+
+**Why this matters:**
+- TanStack Query v5 requires React 18+ (uses useSyncExternalStore)
+- DevTools are essential for debugging queries and mutations
+- v5 has breaking changes from v4 - use latest for all fixes
+
+### 2. Set Up QueryClient Provider
+
+```tsx
+// src/main.tsx or src/index.tsx
+import { StrictMode } from 'react'
+import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'
+import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+import { ReactQueryDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-query-devtools'
+import App from './App'
+
+// Create a client
+const queryClient = new QueryClient({
+  defaultOptions: {
+    queries: {
+      staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 5, // 5 minutes
+      gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60, // 1 hour (formerly cacheTime)
+      retry: 1,
+      refetchOnWindowFocus: false,
+    },
+  },
+})
+
+createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
+  <StrictMode>
+    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
+      <App />
+      <ReactQueryDevtools initialIsOpen={false} />
+    </QueryClientProvider>
+  </StrictMode>
+)
+```
+
+**CRITICAL:**
+- Wrap entire app with `QueryClientProvider`
+- Configure `staleTime` to avoid excessive refetches (default is 0)
+- Use `gcTime` (not `cacheTime` - renamed in v5)
+- DevTools should be inside provider
+
+### 3. Create First Query
+
+```tsx
+// src/hooks/useTodos.ts
+import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+type Todo = {
+  id: number
+  title: string
+  completed: boolean
+}
+
+async function fetchTodos(): Promise<Todo[]> {
+  const response = await fetch('/api/todos')
+  if (!response.ok) {
+    throw new Error('Failed to fetch todos')
+  }
+  return response.json()
+}
+
+export function useTodos() {
+  return useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos'],
+    queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  })
+}
+
+// Usage in component:
+function TodoList() {
+  const { data, isPending, isError, error } = useTodos()
+
+  if (isPending) return <div>Loading...</div>
+  if (isError) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>
+
+  return (
+    <ul>
+      {data.map(todo => (
+        <li key={todo.id}>{todo.title}</li>
+      ))}
+    </ul>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**CRITICAL:**
+- v5 requires object syntax: `useQuery({ queryKey, queryFn })`
+- Use `isPending` (not `isLoading` - that now means "pending AND fetching")
+- Always throw errors in queryFn for proper error handling
+- QueryKey should be array for consistent cache keys
+
+### 4. Create First Mutation
+
+```tsx
+// src/hooks/useAddTodo.ts
+import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+type NewTodo = {
+  title: string
+}
+
+async function addTodo(newTodo: NewTodo) {
+  const response = await fetch('/api/todos', {
+    method: 'POST',
+    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+    body: JSON.stringify(newTodo),
+  })
+  if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed to add todo')
+  return response.json()
+}
+
+export function useAddTodo() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+
+  return useMutation({
+    mutationFn: addTodo,
+    onSuccess: () => {
+      // Invalidate and refetch todos
+      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+    },
+  })
+}
+
+// Usage in component:
+function AddTodoForm() {
+  const { mutate, isPending } = useAddTodo()
+
+  const handleSubmit = (e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
+    e.preventDefault()
+    const formData = new FormData(e.currentTarget)
+    mutate({ title: formData.get('title') as string })
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
+      <input name="title" required />
+      <button type="submit" disabled={isPending}>
+        {isPending ? 'Adding...' : 'Add Todo'}
+      </button>
+    </form>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- Mutations use callbacks (`onSuccess`, `onError`, `onSettled`) - queries don't
+- `invalidateQueries` triggers background refetch
+- Mutations don't cache by default (correct behavior)
+
+---
+
+## The 7-Step Setup Process
+
+### Step 1: Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+# Core library (required)
+npm install @tanstack/react-query
+
+# DevTools (highly recommended for development)
+npm install -D @tanstack/react-query-devtools
+
+# Optional: ESLint plugin for best practices
+npm install -D @tanstack/eslint-plugin-query
+```
+
+**Package roles:**
+- `@tanstack/react-query` - Core React hooks and QueryClient
+- `@tanstack/react-query-devtools` - Visual debugger (dev only, tree-shakeable)
+- `@tanstack/eslint-plugin-query` - Catches common mistakes
+
+**Version requirements:**
+- React 18.0 or higher (uses `useSyncExternalStore`)
+- TypeScript 4.7+ for best type inference (optional but recommended)
+
+### Step 2: Configure QueryClient
+
+```tsx
+// src/lib/query-client.ts
+import { QueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+export const queryClient = new QueryClient({
+  defaultOptions: {
+    queries: {
+      // How long data is considered fresh (won't refetch during this time)
+      staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 5, // 5 minutes
+
+      // How long inactive data stays in cache before garbage collection
+      gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60, // 1 hour (v5: renamed from cacheTime)
+
+      // Retry failed requests (0 on server, 3 on client by default)
+      retry: (failureCount, error) => {
+        if (error instanceof Response && error.status === 404) return false
+        return failureCount < 3
+      },
+
+      // Refetch on window focus (can be annoying during dev)
+      refetchOnWindowFocus: false,
+
+      // Refetch on network reconnect
+      refetchOnReconnect: true,
+
+      // Refetch on component mount if data is stale
+      refetchOnMount: true,
+    },
+    mutations: {
+      // Retry mutations on failure (usually don't want this)
+      retry: 0,
+    },
+  },
+})
+```
+
+**Key configuration decisions:**
+
+**staleTime vs gcTime:**
+- `staleTime`: How long until data is considered "stale" and might refetch
+  - `0` (default): Data is immediately stale, refetches on mount/focus
+  - `1000 * 60 * 5`: Data fresh for 5 min, no refetch during this time
+  - `Infinity`: Data never stale, manual invalidation only
+- `gcTime`: How long unused data stays in cache
+  - `1000 * 60 * 5` (default): 5 minutes
+  - `Infinity`: Never garbage collect (memory leak risk)
+
+**When to refetch:**
+- `refetchOnWindowFocus: true` - Good for frequently changing data (stock prices)
+- `refetchOnWindowFocus: false` - Good for stable data or during development
+- `refetchOnMount: true` - Ensures fresh data when component mounts
+- `refetchOnReconnect: true` - Refetch after network reconnect
+
+### Step 3: Wrap App with Provider
+
+```tsx
+// src/main.tsx
+import { StrictMode } from 'react'
+import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'
+import { QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+import { ReactQueryDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-query-devtools'
+import { queryClient } from './lib/query-client'
+import App from './App'
+
+createRoot(document.getElementById('root')!).render(
+  <StrictMode>
+    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
+      <App />
+      <ReactQueryDevtools
+        initialIsOpen={false}
+        buttonPosition="bottom-right"
+      />
+    </QueryClientProvider>
+  </StrictMode>
+)
+```
+
+**Provider placement:**
+- Must wrap all components that use TanStack Query hooks
+- DevTools must be inside provider
+- Only one QueryClient instance for entire app
+
+**DevTools configuration:**
+- `initialIsOpen={false}` - Collapsed by default
+- `buttonPosition="bottom-right"` - Where to show toggle button
+- Automatically removed in production builds (tree-shaken)
+
+### Step 4: Create Custom Query Hooks
+
+**Pattern: Reusable Query Hooks**
+
+```tsx
+// src/api/todos.ts - API functions
+export type Todo = {
+  id: number
+  title: string
+  completed: boolean
+}
+
+export async function fetchTodos(): Promise<Todo[]> {
+  const response = await fetch('/api/todos')
+  if (!response.ok) {
+    throw new Error(`Failed to fetch todos: ${response.statusText}`)
+  }
+  return response.json()
+}
+
+export async function fetchTodoById(id: number): Promise<Todo> {
+  const response = await fetch(`/api/todos/${id}`)
+  if (!response.ok) {
+    throw new Error(`Failed to fetch todo ${id}: ${response.statusText}`)
+  }
+  return response.json()
+}
+
+// src/hooks/useTodos.ts - Query hooks
+import { useQuery, queryOptions } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+import { fetchTodos, fetchTodoById } from '../api/todos'
+
+// Query options factory (v5 pattern for reusability)
+export const todosQueryOptions = queryOptions({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  staleTime: 1000 * 60, // 1 minute
+})
+
+export function useTodos() {
+  return useQuery(todosQueryOptions)
+}
+
+export function useTodo(id: number) {
+  return useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos', id],
+    queryFn: () => fetchTodoById(id),
+    enabled: !!id, // Only fetch if id is truthy
+  })
+}
+```
+
+**Why use queryOptions factory:**
+- Type inference works perfectly
+- Reusable across `useQuery`, `useSuspenseQuery`, `prefetchQuery`
+- Consistent queryKey and queryFn everywhere
+- Easier to test and maintain
+
+**Query key structure:**
+- `['todos']` - List of all todos
+- `['todos', id]` - Single todo detail
+- `['todos', 'filters', { status: 'completed' }]` - Filtered list
+- More specific keys are subsets (invalidating `['todos']` invalidates all)
+
+### Step 5: Implement Mutations with Optimistic Updates
+
+```tsx
+// src/hooks/useTodoMutations.ts
+import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+import type { Todo } from '../api/todos'
+
+type AddTodoInput = {
+  title: string
+}
+
+type UpdateTodoInput = {
+  id: number
+  completed: boolean
+}
+
+export function useAddTodo() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+
+  return useMutation({
+    mutationFn: async (newTodo: AddTodoInput) => {
+      const response = await fetch('/api/todos', {
+        method: 'POST',
+        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+        body: JSON.stringify(newTodo),
+      })
+      if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed to add todo')
+      return response.json()
+    },
+
+    // Optimistic update
+    onMutate: async (newTodo) => {
+      // Cancel outgoing refetches
+      await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+
+      // Snapshot previous value
+      const previousTodos = queryClient.getQueryData<Todo[]>(['todos'])
+
+      // Optimistically update
+      queryClient.setQueryData<Todo[]>(['todos'], (old = []) => [
+        ...old,
+        { id: Date.now(), ...newTodo, completed: false },
+      ])
+
+      // Return context with snapshot
+      return { previousTodos }
+    },
+
+    // Rollback on error
+    onError: (err, newTodo, context) => {
+      queryClient.setQueryData(['todos'], context?.previousTodos)
+    },
+
+    // Always refetch after error or success
+    onSettled: () => {
+      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+    },
+  })
+}
+
+export function useUpdateTodo() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+
+  return useMutation({
+    mutationFn: async ({ id, completed }: UpdateTodoInput) => {
+      const response = await fetch(`/api/todos/${id}`, {
+        method: 'PATCH',
+        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+        body: JSON.stringify({ completed }),
+      })
+      if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed to update todo')
+      return response.json()
+    },
+
+    onSuccess: (updatedTodo) => {
+      // Update the specific todo in cache
+      queryClient.setQueryData<Todo>(['todos', updatedTodo.id], updatedTodo)
+
+      // Invalidate list to refetch
+      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+    },
+  })
+}
+
+export function useDeleteTodo() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+
+  return useMutation({
+    mutationFn: async (id: number) => {
+      const response = await fetch(`/api/todos/${id}`, { method: 'DELETE' })
+      if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed to delete todo')
+    },
+
+    onSuccess: (_, deletedId) => {
+      queryClient.setQueryData<Todo[]>(['todos'], (old = []) =>
+        old.filter(todo => todo.id !== deletedId)
+      )
+    },
+  })
+}
+```
+
+**Optimistic update pattern:**
+1. `onMutate`: Cancel queries, snapshot old data, update cache optimistically
+2. `onError`: Rollback to snapshot if mutation fails
+3. `onSettled`: Refetch to ensure cache matches server
+
+**When to use:**
+- Immediate UI feedback for better UX
+- Low-risk mutations (todo toggle, like button)
+- Avoid for critical data (payments, account settings)
+
+### Step 6: Set Up DevTools
+
+```tsx
+// Already set up in main.tsx, but here are advanced options:
+
+import { ReactQueryDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-query-devtools'
+
+<ReactQueryDevtools
+  initialIsOpen={false}
+  buttonPosition="bottom-right"
+  position="bottom"
+
+  // Custom toggle button
+  toggleButtonProps={{
+    style: { marginBottom: '4rem' },
+  }}
+
+  // Custom panel styles
+  panelProps={{
+    style: { height: '400px' },
+  }}
+
+  // Only show in dev (already tree-shaken in production)
+  // But can add explicit check:
+  // {import.meta.env.DEV && <ReactQueryDevtools />}
+/>
+```
+
+**DevTools features:**
+- View all queries and their states
+- See query cache contents
+- Manually refetch queries
+- View mutations in flight
+- Inspect query dependencies
+- Export state for debugging
+
+### Step 7: Configure Error Boundaries
+
+```tsx
+// src/components/ErrorBoundary.tsx
+import { Component, type ReactNode } from 'react'
+import { QueryErrorResetBoundary, useQueryErrorResetBoundary } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+type Props = { children: ReactNode }
+type State = { hasError: boolean }
+
+class ErrorBoundaryClass extends Component<Props, State> {
+  constructor(props: Props) {
+    super(props)
+    this.state = { hasError: false }
+  }
+
+  static getDerivedStateFromError() {
+    return { hasError: true }
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    if (this.state.hasError) {
+      return (
+        <div>
+          <h2>Something went wrong</h2>
+          <button onClick={() => this.setState({ hasError: false })}>
+            Try again
+          </button>
+        </div>
+      )
+    }
+    return this.props.children
+  }
+}
+
+// Wrapper with TanStack Query error reset
+export function ErrorBoundary({ children }: Props) {
+  return (
+    <QueryErrorResetBoundary>
+      {({ reset }) => (
+        <ErrorBoundaryClass onReset={reset}>
+          {children}
+        </ErrorBoundaryClass>
+      )}
+    </QueryErrorResetBoundary>
+  )
+}
+
+// Usage with throwOnError option:
+function useTodosWithErrorBoundary() {
+  return useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos'],
+    queryFn: fetchTodos,
+    throwOnError: true, // Throw errors to error boundary
+  })
+}
+
+// Or conditional:
+function useTodosConditionalError() {
+  return useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos'],
+    queryFn: fetchTodos,
+    throwOnError: (error, query) => {
+      // Only throw server errors, handle network errors locally
+      return error instanceof Response && error.status >= 500
+    },
+  })
+}
+```
+
+**Error handling strategies:**
+- Local handling: Use `isError` and `error` from query
+- Global handling: Use error boundaries with `throwOnError`
+- Mixed: Conditional `throwOnError` function
+- Centralized: Use `QueryCache` global error handlers
+
+---
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### Always Do
+
+✅ **Use object syntax for all hooks**
+```tsx
+// v5 ONLY supports this:
+useQuery({ queryKey, queryFn, ...options })
+useMutation({ mutationFn, ...options })
+```
+
+✅ **Use array query keys**
+```tsx
+queryKey: ['todos']              // List
+queryKey: ['todos', id]          // Detail
+queryKey: ['todos', { filter }]  // Filtered
+```
+
+✅ **Configure staleTime appropriately**
+```tsx
+staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 5 // 5 min - prevents excessive refetches
+```
+
+✅ **Use isPending for initial loading state**
+```tsx
+if (isPending) return <Loading />
+// isPending = no data yet AND fetching
+```
+
+✅ **Throw errors in queryFn**
+```tsx
+if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Failed')
+```
+
+✅ **Invalidate queries after mutations**
+```tsx
+onSuccess: () => {
+  queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+}
+```
+
+✅ **Use queryOptions factory for reusable patterns**
+```tsx
+const opts = queryOptions({ queryKey, queryFn })
+useQuery(opts)
+useSuspenseQuery(opts)
+prefetchQuery(opts)
+```
+
+✅ **Use gcTime (not cacheTime)**
+```tsx
+gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60 // 1 hour
+```
+
+### Never Do
+
+❌ **Never use v4 array/function syntax**
+```tsx
+// v4 (removed in v5):
+useQuery(['todos'], fetchTodos, options) // ❌
+
+// v5 (correct):
+useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos }) // ✅
+```
+
+❌ **Never use query callbacks (onSuccess, onError, onSettled in queries)**
+```tsx
+// v5 removed these from queries:
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  onSuccess: (data) => {}, // ❌ Removed in v5
+})
+
+// Use useEffect instead:
+const { data } = useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (data) {
+    // Do something
+  }
+}, [data])
+
+// Or use mutation callbacks (still supported):
+useMutation({
+  mutationFn: addTodo,
+  onSuccess: () => {}, // ✅ Still works for mutations
+})
+```
+
+❌ **Never use deprecated options**
+```tsx
+// Deprecated in v5:
+cacheTime: 1000 // ❌ Use gcTime instead
+isLoading: true // ❌ Meaning changed, use isPending
+keepPreviousData: true // ❌ Use placeholderData instead
+onSuccess: () => {} // ❌ Removed from queries
+useErrorBoundary: true // ❌ Use throwOnError instead
+```
+
+❌ **Never assume isLoading means "no data yet"**
+```tsx
+// v5 changed this:
+isLoading = isPending && isFetching // ❌ Now means "pending AND fetching"
+isPending = no data yet // ✅ Use this for initial load
+```
+
+❌ **Never forget initialPageParam for infinite queries**
+```tsx
+// v5 requires this:
+useInfiniteQuery({
+  queryKey: ['projects'],
+  queryFn: ({ pageParam }) => fetchProjects(pageParam),
+  initialPageParam: 0, // ✅ Required in v5
+  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+})
+```
+
+❌ **Never use enabled with useSuspenseQuery**
+```tsx
+// Not allowed:
+useSuspenseQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todo', id],
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+  enabled: !!id, // ❌ Not available with suspense
+})
+
+// Use conditional rendering instead:
+{id && <TodoComponent id={id} />}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues Prevention
+
+This skill prevents **8 documented issues** from v5 migration and common mistakes:
+
+### Issue #1: Object Syntax Required
+**Error**: `useQuery is not a function` or type errors
+**Source**: [v5 Migration Guide](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#removed-overloads-in-favor-of-object-syntax)
+**Why It Happens**: v5 removed all function overloads, only object syntax works
+**Prevention**: Always use `useQuery({ queryKey, queryFn, ...options })`
+
+**Before (v4):**
+```tsx
+useQuery(['todos'], fetchTodos, { staleTime: 5000 })
+```
+
+**After (v5):**
+```tsx
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  staleTime: 5000
+})
+```
+
+### Issue #2: Query Callbacks Removed
+**Error**: Callbacks don't run, TypeScript errors
+**Source**: [v5 Breaking Changes](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#callbacks-on-usequery-and-queryobserver-have-been-removed)
+**Why It Happens**: onSuccess, onError, onSettled removed from queries (still work in mutations)
+**Prevention**: Use `useEffect` for side effects, or move logic to mutation callbacks
+
+**Before (v4):**
+```tsx
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  onSuccess: (data) => {
+    console.log('Todos loaded:', data)
+  },
+})
+```
+
+**After (v5):**
+```tsx
+const { data } = useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (data) {
+    console.log('Todos loaded:', data)
+  }
+}, [data])
+```
+
+### Issue #3: Status Loading → Pending
+**Error**: UI shows wrong loading state
+**Source**: [v5 Migration: isLoading renamed](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#isloading-and-isfetching-flags)
+**Why It Happens**: `status: 'loading'` renamed to `status: 'pending'`, `isLoading` meaning changed
+**Prevention**: Use `isPending` for initial load, `isLoading` for "pending AND fetching"
+
+**Before (v4):**
+```tsx
+const { data, isLoading } = useQuery(...)
+if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>
+```
+
+**After (v5):**
+```tsx
+const { data, isPending, isLoading } = useQuery(...)
+if (isPending) return <div>Loading...</div>
+// isLoading = isPending && isFetching (fetching for first time)
+```
+
+### Issue #4: cacheTime → gcTime
+**Error**: `cacheTime is not a valid option`
+**Source**: [v5 Migration: gcTime](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#cachetime-has-been-replaced-by-gctime)
+**Why It Happens**: Renamed to better reflect "garbage collection time"
+**Prevention**: Use `gcTime` instead of `cacheTime`
+
+**Before (v4):**
+```tsx
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  cacheTime: 1000 * 60 * 60,
+})
+```
+
+**After (v5):**
+```tsx
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60,
+})
+```
+
+### Issue #5: useSuspenseQuery + enabled
+**Error**: Type error, enabled option not available
+**Source**: [GitHub Discussion #6206](https://github.com/TanStack/query/discussions/6206)
+**Why It Happens**: Suspense guarantees data is available, can't conditionally disable
+**Prevention**: Use conditional rendering instead of `enabled` option
+
+**Before (v4/incorrect):**
+```tsx
+useSuspenseQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todo', id],
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+  enabled: !!id, // ❌ Not allowed
+})
+```
+
+**After (v5/correct):**
+```tsx
+// Conditional rendering:
+{id ? (
+  <TodoComponent id={id} />
+) : (
+  <div>No ID selected</div>
+)}
+
+// Inside TodoComponent:
+function TodoComponent({ id }: { id: number }) {
+  const { data } = useSuspenseQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todo', id],
+    queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+    // No enabled option needed
+  })
+  return <div>{data.title}</div>
+}
+```
+
+### Issue #6: initialPageParam Required
+**Error**: `initialPageParam is required` type error
+**Source**: [v5 Migration: Infinite Queries](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#new-required-initialPageParam-option)
+**Why It Happens**: v4 passed `undefined` as first pageParam, v5 requires explicit value
+**Prevention**: Always specify `initialPageParam` for infinite queries
+
+**Before (v4):**
+```tsx
+useInfiniteQuery({
+  queryKey: ['projects'],
+  queryFn: ({ pageParam = 0 }) => fetchProjects(pageParam),
+  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+})
+```
+
+**After (v5):**
+```tsx
+useInfiniteQuery({
+  queryKey: ['projects'],
+  queryFn: ({ pageParam }) => fetchProjects(pageParam),
+  initialPageParam: 0, // ✅ Required
+  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+})
+```
+
+### Issue #7: keepPreviousData Removed
+**Error**: `keepPreviousData is not a valid option`
+**Source**: [v5 Migration: placeholderData](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#removed-keeppreviousdata-in-favor-of-placeholderdata-identity-function)
+**Why It Happens**: Replaced with more flexible `placeholderData` function
+**Prevention**: Use `placeholderData: keepPreviousData` helper
+
+**Before (v4):**
+```tsx
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos', page],
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodos(page),
+  keepPreviousData: true,
+})
+```
+
+**After (v5):**
+```tsx
+import { keepPreviousData } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos', page],
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodos(page),
+  placeholderData: keepPreviousData,
+})
+```
+
+### Issue #8: TypeScript Error Type Default
+**Error**: Type errors with error handling
+**Source**: [v5 Migration: Error Types](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#typeerror-is-now-the-default-error)
+**Why It Happens**: v4 used `unknown`, v5 defaults to `Error` type
+**Prevention**: If throwing non-Error types, specify error type explicitly
+
+**Before (v4 - error was unknown):**
+```tsx
+const { error } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['data'],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    if (Math.random() > 0.5) throw 'custom error string'
+    return data
+  },
+})
+// error: unknown
+```
+
+**After (v5 - specify custom error type):**
+```tsx
+const { error } = useQuery<DataType, string>({
+  queryKey: ['data'],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    if (Math.random() > 0.5) throw 'custom error string'
+    return data
+  },
+})
+// error: string | null
+
+// Or better: always throw Error objects
+const { error } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['data'],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    if (Math.random() > 0.5) throw new Error('custom error')
+    return data
+  },
+})
+// error: Error | null (default)
+```

+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Dependent Queries
+
+```tsx
+// Fetch user, then fetch user's posts
+function UserPosts({ userId }: { userId: number }) {
+  const { data: user } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['users', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUser(userId),
+  })
+
+  const { data: posts } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['users', userId, 'posts'],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUserPosts(userId),
+    enabled: !!user, // Only fetch posts after user is loaded
+  })
+
+  if (!user) return <div>Loading user...</div>
+  if (!posts) return <div>Loading posts...</div>
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{user.name}</h1>
+      <ul>
+        {posts.map(post => (
+          <li key={post.id}>{post.title}</li>
+        ))}
+      </ul>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**When to use**: Query B depends on data from Query A
+
+### Pattern 2: Parallel Queries with useQueries
+
+```tsx
+// Fetch multiple todos in parallel
+function TodoDetails({ ids }: { ids: number[] }) {
+  const results = useQueries({
+    queries: ids.map(id => ({
+      queryKey: ['todos', id],
+      queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+    })),
+  })
+
+  const isLoading = results.some(result => result.isPending)
+  const isError = results.some(result => result.isError)
+
+  if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>
+  if (isError) return <div>Error loading todos</div>
+
+  return (
+    <ul>
+      {results.map((result, i) => (
+        <li key={ids[i]}>{result.data?.title}</li>
+      ))}
+    </ul>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**When to use**: Fetch multiple independent queries in parallel
+
+### Pattern 3: Prefetching
+
+```tsx
+import { useQueryClient } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+import { todosQueryOptions } from './hooks/useTodos'
+
+function TodoListWithPrefetch() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+  const { data: todos } = useTodos()
+
+  const prefetchTodo = (id: number) => {
+    queryClient.prefetchQuery({
+      queryKey: ['todos', id],
+      queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+      staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 5, // 5 minutes
+    })
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <ul>
+      {todos?.map(todo => (
+        <li
+          key={todo.id}
+          onMouseEnter={() => prefetchTodo(todo.id)}
+        >
+          <Link to={`/todos/${todo.id}`}>{todo.title}</Link>
+        </li>
+      ))}
+    </ul>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**When to use**: Preload data before user navigates (on hover, on mount)
+
+### Pattern 4: Infinite Scroll
+
+```tsx
+import { useInfiniteQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react'
+
+type Page = {
+  data: Todo[]
+  nextCursor: number | null
+}
+
+async function fetchTodosPage({ pageParam }: { pageParam: number }): Promise<Page> {
+  const response = await fetch(`/api/todos?cursor=${pageParam}&limit=20`)
+  return response.json()
+}
+
+function InfiniteTodoList() {
+  const {
+    data,
+    fetchNextPage,
+    hasNextPage,
+    isFetchingNextPage,
+  } = useInfiniteQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos', 'infinite'],
+    queryFn: fetchTodosPage,
+    initialPageParam: 0,
+    getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+  })
+
+  const loadMoreRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const observer = new IntersectionObserver(
+      (entries) => {
+        if (entries[0].isIntersecting && hasNextPage) {
+          fetchNextPage()
+        }
+      },
+      { threshold: 0.1 }
+    )
+
+    if (loadMoreRef.current) {
+      observer.observe(loadMoreRef.current)
+    }
+
+    return () => observer.disconnect()
+  }, [fetchNextPage, hasNextPage])
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {data?.pages.map((page, i) => (
+        <div key={i}>
+          {page.data.map(todo => (
+            <div key={todo.id}>{todo.title}</div>
+          ))}
+        </div>
+      ))}
+
+      <div ref={loadMoreRef}>
+        {isFetchingNextPage && <div>Loading more...</div>}
+      </div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**When to use**: Paginated lists with infinite scroll
+
+### Pattern 5: Query Cancellation
+
+```tsx
+function SearchTodos() {
+  const [search, setSearch] = useState('')
+
+  const { data } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos', 'search', search],
+    queryFn: async ({ signal }) => {
+      const response = await fetch(`/api/todos?q=${search}`, { signal })
+      return response.json()
+    },
+    enabled: search.length > 2, // Only search if 3+ characters
+  })
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <input
+        value={search}
+        onChange={e => setSearch(e.target.value)}
+        placeholder="Search todos..."
+      />
+      {data && (
+        <ul>
+          {data.map(todo => (
+            <li key={todo.id}>{todo.title}</li>
+          ))}
+        </ul>
+      )}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+- When queryKey changes, previous query is automatically cancelled
+- Pass `signal` to fetch for proper cleanup
+- Browser aborts pending fetch requests

+## Advanced Topics
+
+### Data Transformations with select
+
+```tsx
+// Only subscribe to specific slice of data
+function TodoCount() {
+  const { data: count } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos'],
+    queryFn: fetchTodos,
+    select: (data) => data.length, // Only re-render when count changes
+  })
+
+  return <div>Total todos: {count}</div>
+}
+
+// Transform data shape
+function CompletedTodoTitles() {
+  const { data: titles } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos'],
+    queryFn: fetchTodos,
+    select: (data) =>
+      data
+        .filter(todo => todo.completed)
+        .map(todo => todo.title),
+  })
+
+  return (
+    <ul>
+      {titles?.map((title, i) => (
+        <li key={i}>{title}</li>
+      ))}
+    </ul>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Component only re-renders when selected data changes
+- Reduces memory usage (less data stored in component state)
+- Keeps query cache unchanged (other components get full data)
+
+### Request Waterfalls (Anti-Pattern)
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ BAD: Sequential waterfalls
+function BadUserProfile({ userId }: { userId: number }) {
+  const { data: user } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['users', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUser(userId),
+  })
+
+  const { data: posts } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['posts', user?.id],
+    queryFn: () => fetchPosts(user!.id),
+    enabled: !!user,
+  })
+
+  const { data: comments } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['comments', posts?.[0]?.id],
+    queryFn: () => fetchComments(posts![0].id),
+    enabled: !!posts && posts.length > 0,
+  })
+
+  // Each query waits for previous one = slow!
+}
+
+// ✅ GOOD: Fetch in parallel when possible
+function GoodUserProfile({ userId }: { userId: number }) {
+  const { data: user } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['users', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUser(userId),
+  })
+
+  // Fetch posts AND comments in parallel
+  const { data: posts } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['posts', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchPosts(userId), // Don't wait for user
+  })
+
+  const { data: comments } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['comments', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUserComments(userId), // Don't wait for posts
+  })
+
+  // All 3 queries run in parallel = fast!
+}
+```
+
+### Server State vs Client State
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ Don't use TanStack Query for client-only state
+const { data: isModalOpen, setData: setIsModalOpen } = useMutation(...)
+
+// ✅ Use useState for client state
+const [isModalOpen, setIsModalOpen] = useState(false)
+
+// ✅ Use TanStack Query for server state
+const { data: todos } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+})
+```
+
+**Rule of thumb:**
+- Server state: Use TanStack Query (data from API)
+- Client state: Use useState/useReducer (local UI state)
+- Global client state: Use Zustand/Context (theme, auth token)
+
+---
+

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: "useQuery is not a function" or type errors
+**Solution**: Ensure you're using v5 object syntax:
+```tsx
+// ✅ Correct:
+useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+
+// ❌ Wrong (v4 syntax):
+useQuery(['todos'], fetchTodos)
+```
+
+### Problem: Callbacks (onSuccess, onError) not working on queries
+**Solution**: Removed in v5. Use `useEffect` or move to mutations:
+```tsx
+// ✅ For queries:
+const { data } = useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (data) {
+    // Handle success
+  }
+}, [data])
+
+// ✅ For mutations (still work):
+useMutation({
+  mutationFn: addTodo,
+  onSuccess: () => { /* ... */ },
+})
+```
+
+### Problem: isLoading always false even during initial load
+**Solution**: Use `isPending` instead:
+```tsx
+const { isPending, isLoading, isFetching } = useQuery(...)
+// isPending = no data yet
+// isLoading = isPending && isFetching
+// isFetching = any fetch in progress
+```
+
+### Problem: cacheTime option not recognized
+**Solution**: Renamed to `gcTime` in v5:
+```tsx
+gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60 // 1 hour
+```
+
+### Problem: useSuspenseQuery with enabled option gives type error
+**Solution**: `enabled` not available with suspense. Use conditional rendering:
+```tsx
+{id && <TodoComponent id={id} />}
+```
+
+### Problem: Data not refetching after mutation
+**Solution**: Invalidate queries in `onSuccess`:
+```tsx
+onSuccess: () => {
+  queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+}
+```
+
+### Problem: Infinite query requires initialPageParam
+**Solution**: Always provide `initialPageParam` in v5:
+```tsx
+useInfiniteQuery({
+  queryKey: ['projects'],
+  queryFn: ({ pageParam }) => fetchProjects(pageParam),
+  initialPageParam: 0, // Required
+  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+})
+```
+
+### Problem: keepPreviousData not working
+**Solution**: Replaced with `placeholderData`:
+```tsx
+import { keepPreviousData } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos', page],
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodos(page),
+  placeholderData: keepPreviousData,
+})
+```

+# TanStack Query Best Practices
+
+**Performance, caching strategies, and common patterns**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Avoid Request Waterfalls
+
+### ❌ Bad: Sequential Dependencies
+
+```tsx
+function BadUserProfile({ userId }) {
+  const { data: user } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['users', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUser(userId),
+  })
+
+  // Waits for user ⏳
+  const { data: posts } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['posts', user?.id],
+    queryFn: () => fetchPosts(user!.id),
+    enabled: !!user,
+  })
+
+  // Waits for posts ⏳⏳
+  const { data: comments } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['comments', posts?.[0]?.id],
+    queryFn: () => fetchComments(posts![0].id),
+    enabled: !!posts && posts.length > 0,
+  })
+}
+```
+
+### ✅ Good: Parallel Queries
+
+```tsx
+function GoodUserProfile({ userId }) {
+  // All run in parallel 🚀
+  const { data: user } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['users', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUser(userId),
+  })
+
+  const { data: posts } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['posts', userId], // Use userId, not user.id
+    queryFn: () => fetchPosts(userId),
+  })
+
+  const { data: comments } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['comments', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUserComments(userId),
+  })
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Query Key Strategy
+
+### Hierarchical Structure
+
+```tsx
+// Global
+['todos'] // All todos
+['todos', { status: 'done' }] // Filtered todos
+['todos', 123] // Single todo
+
+// Invalidation hierarchy
+queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] }) // Invalidates ALL todos
+queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos', { status: 'done' }] }) // Only filtered
+```
+
+### Best Practices
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ Good: Stable, serializable keys
+['users', userId, { sort: 'name', filter: 'active' }]
+
+// ❌ Bad: Functions in keys (not serializable)
+['users', () => userId]
+
+// ❌ Bad: Changing order
+['users', { filter: 'active', sort: 'name' }] // Different key!
+
+// ✅ Good: Consistent ordering
+const userFilters = { filter: 'active', sort: 'name' }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Caching Configuration
+
+### staleTime vs gcTime
+
+```tsx
+/**
+ * staleTime: How long data is "fresh" (won't refetch)
+ * gcTime: How long unused data stays in cache
+ */
+
+// Real-time data
+staleTime: 0 // Always stale, refetch frequently
+gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 5 // 5 min in cache
+
+// Stable data
+staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 60 // 1 hour fresh
+gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 // 24 hours in cache
+
+// Static data
+staleTime: Infinity // Never stale
+gcTime: Infinity // Never garbage collect
+```
+
+### Per-Query vs Global
+
+```tsx
+// Global defaults
+const queryClient = new QueryClient({
+  defaultOptions: {
+    queries: {
+      staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 5,
+      gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60,
+    },
+  },
+})
+
+// Override per query
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['stock-price'],
+  queryFn: fetchStockPrice,
+  staleTime: 0, // Override: always stale
+  refetchInterval: 1000 * 30, // Refetch every 30s
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Use queryOptions Factory
+
+```tsx
+// ✅ Best practice: Reusable options
+export const todosQueryOptions = queryOptions({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  staleTime: 1000 * 60,
+})
+
+// Use everywhere
+useQuery(todosQueryOptions)
+useSuspenseQuery(todosQueryOptions)
+queryClient.prefetchQuery(todosQueryOptions)
+
+// ❌ Bad: Duplicated configuration
+useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+useSuspenseQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Data Transformations
+
+### select Option
+
+```tsx
+// Only re-render when count changes
+function TodoCount() {
+  const { data: count } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos'],
+    queryFn: fetchTodos,
+    select: (data) => data.length, // Transform
+  })
+}
+
+// Cache full data, component gets filtered
+function CompletedTodos() {
+  const { data } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos'],
+    queryFn: fetchTodos,
+    select: (data) => data.filter(todo => todo.completed),
+  })
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Prefetching
+
+```tsx
+function TodoList() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+  const { data: todos } = useTodos()
+
+  const prefetch = (id: number) => {
+    queryClient.prefetchQuery({
+      queryKey: ['todos', id],
+      queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+      staleTime: 1000 * 60 * 5,
+    })
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <ul>
+      {todos.map(todo => (
+        <li key={todo.id} onMouseEnter={() => prefetch(todo.id)}>
+          <Link to={`/todos/${todo.id}`}>{todo.title}</Link>
+        </li>
+      ))}
+    </ul>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Optimistic Updates
+
+Use for:
+- ✅ Low-risk actions (toggle, like)
+- ✅ Frequent actions (better UX)
+
+Avoid for:
+- ❌ Critical operations (payments)
+- ❌ Complex validations
+
+```tsx
+useMutation({
+  mutationFn: updateTodo,
+  onMutate: async (newTodo) => {
+    await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+    const previous = queryClient.getQueryData(['todos'])
+    queryClient.setQueryData(['todos'], (old) => [...old, newTodo])
+    return { previous }
+  },
+  onError: (err, newTodo, context) => {
+    queryClient.setQueryData(['todos'], context.previous)
+  },
+  onSettled: () => {
+    queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+  },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Error Handling Strategy
+
+### Local vs Global
+
+```tsx
+// Local: Handle in component
+const { data, error, isError } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+})
+
+if (isError) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>
+
+// Global: Error boundaries
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  throwOnError: true, // Throw to boundary
+})
+
+// Conditional: Mix both
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  throwOnError: (error) => error.status >= 500, // Only 5xx to boundary
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Server State vs Client State
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ Don't use TanStack Query for client state
+const { data: isModalOpen } = useMutation(...)
+
+// ✅ Use useState for client state
+const [isModalOpen, setIsModalOpen] = useState(false)
+
+// ✅ Use TanStack Query for server state only
+const { data: todos } = useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Performance Monitoring
+
+### Use DevTools
+
+- Check refetch frequency
+- Verify cache hits
+- Monitor query states
+- Export state for debugging
+
+### Key Metrics
+
+- Time to first data
+- Cache hit rate
+- Refetch frequency
+- Network requests count

+# Common TanStack Query Patterns
+
+**Reusable patterns for real-world applications**
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 1: Dependent Queries
+
+Query B depends on data from Query A:
+
+```tsx
+function UserPosts({ userId }) {
+  const { data: user } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['users', userId],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUser(userId),
+  })
+
+  const { data: posts } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['users', userId, 'posts'],
+    queryFn: () => fetchUserPosts(userId),
+    enabled: !!user, // Wait for user
+  })
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 2: Parallel Queries with useQueries
+
+Fetch multiple resources in parallel:
+
+```tsx
+function TodoDetails({ ids }) {
+  const results = useQueries({
+    queries: ids.map(id => ({
+      queryKey: ['todos', id],
+      queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+    })),
+  })
+
+  const isLoading = results.some(r => r.isPending)
+  const data = results.map(r => r.data)
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 3: Paginated Queries with placeholderData
+
+Keep previous data while fetching next page:
+
+```tsx
+import { keepPreviousData } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+function PaginatedTodos() {
+  const [page, setPage] = useState(0)
+
+  const { data } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['todos', page],
+    queryFn: () => fetchTodos(page),
+    placeholderData: keepPreviousData, // Keep old data while loading
+  })
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 4: Infinite Scroll
+
+Auto-load more data on scroll:
+
+```tsx
+function InfiniteList() {
+  const { data, fetchNextPage, hasNextPage } = useInfiniteQuery({
+    queryKey: ['items'],
+    queryFn: ({ pageParam }) => fetchItems(pageParam),
+    initialPageParam: 0,
+    getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+  })
+
+  // Intersection Observer for auto-loading
+  const ref = useRef()
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const observer = new IntersectionObserver(
+      ([entry]) => entry.isIntersecting && hasNextPage && fetchNextPage()
+    )
+    if (ref.current) observer.observe(ref.current)
+    return () => observer.disconnect()
+  }, [fetchNextPage, hasNextPage])
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      {data.pages.map(page => page.data.map(item => <div>{item}</div>))}
+      <div ref={ref}>Loading...</div>
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 5: Optimistic Updates
+
+Instant UI feedback:
+
+```tsx
+function useOptimisticToggle() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+
+  return useMutation({
+    mutationFn: updateTodo,
+    onMutate: async (updated) => {
+      await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+      const previous = queryClient.getQueryData(['todos'])
+
+      queryClient.setQueryData(['todos'], (old) =>
+        old.map(todo => todo.id === updated.id ? updated : todo)
+      )
+
+      return { previous }
+    },
+    onError: (err, vars, context) => {
+      queryClient.setQueryData(['todos'], context.previous)
+    },
+    onSettled: () => {
+      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+    },
+  })
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 6: Prefetching on Hover
+
+Load data before user clicks:
+
+```tsx
+function TodoList() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient()
+
+  const prefetch = (id) => {
+    queryClient.prefetchQuery({
+      queryKey: ['todos', id],
+      queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+    })
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <ul>
+      {todos.map(todo => (
+        <li onMouseEnter={() => prefetch(todo.id)}>
+          <Link to={`/todos/${todo.id}`}>{todo.title}</Link>
+        </li>
+      ))}
+    </ul>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 7: Search/Debounce
+
+Debounced search with automatic cancellation:
+
+```tsx
+import { useState, useDeferredValue } from 'react'
+
+function Search() {
+  const [search, setSearch] = useState('')
+  const deferredSearch = useDeferredValue(search)
+
+  const { data } = useQuery({
+    queryKey: ['search', deferredSearch],
+    queryFn: ({ signal }) =>
+      fetch(`/api/search?q=${deferredSearch}`, { signal }).then(r => r.json()),
+    enabled: deferredSearch.length >= 2,
+  })
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 8: Polling/Refetch Interval
+
+Auto-refetch every N seconds:
+
+```tsx
+const { data } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['stock-price'],
+  queryFn: fetchStockPrice,
+  refetchInterval: 1000 * 30, // Every 30 seconds
+  refetchIntervalInBackground: true, // Even when tab inactive
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 9: Conditional Fetching
+
+Only fetch when needed:
+
+```tsx
+const { data } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['user', userId],
+  queryFn: () => fetchUser(userId),
+  enabled: !!userId && isAuthenticated,
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 10: Initial Data from Cache
+
+Use cached data as initial value:
+
+```tsx
+const { data: todo } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos', id],
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+  initialData: () => {
+    return queryClient
+      .getQueryData(['todos'])
+      ?.find(t => t.id === id)
+  },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 11: Mutation with Multiple Invalidations
+
+Update multiple related queries:
+
+```tsx
+useMutation({
+  mutationFn: updateTodo,
+  onSuccess: (updated) => {
+    queryClient.setQueryData(['todos', updated.id], updated)
+    queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+    queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['stats'] })
+    queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['users', updated.userId] })
+  },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Pattern 12: Global Error Handler
+
+Centralized error handling:
+
+```tsx
+const queryClient = new QueryClient({
+  defaultOptions: {
+    queries: {
+      onError: (error) => {
+        toast.error(error.message)
+        logToSentry(error)
+      },
+    },
+    mutations: {
+      onError: (error) => {
+        toast.error('Action failed')
+        logToSentry(error)
+      },
+    },
+  },
+})
+```

+
+## Testing Queries
+
+```tsx
+import { renderHook, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react'
+import { useTodos } from './useTodos'
+
+describe('useTodos', () => {
+  it('fetches todos successfully', async () => {

+    expect(result.current.error?.message).toBe('API error')
+  })
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing with MSW
+
+```tsx
+import { http, HttpResponse } from 'msw'
+import { setupServer } from 'msw/node'
+
+const server = setupServer(
+  http.get('/api/todos', () => {
+    return HttpResponse.json([

+    ])
+  })
+)
+
+beforeAll(() => server.listen())
+afterEach(() => server.resetHandlers())
+afterAll(() => server.close())
+
+test('fetches todos', async () => {
+  const { result } = renderHook(() => useTodos())
+
+  await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.isSuccess).toBe(true))
+
+  expect(result.current.data).toEqual([

+  ])
+})
+
+test('handles server error', async () => {
+  server.use(

+    })
+  )
+
+  const { result } = renderHook(() => useTodos())
+
+  await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.isError).toBe(true))
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Mutations
+
+```tsx
+test('adds todo successfully', async () => {
+  const { result } = renderHook(() => useAddTodo())
+
+  act(() => {
+    result.current.mutate({ title: 'New todo' })

+  const { result } = renderHook(() => useAddTodo())
+
+  act(() => {
+    result.current.mutate({ title: 'New todo' })
+  })
+
+  await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.isError).toBe(true))
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Components
+
+```tsx
+import { render, screen, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react'
+import userEvent from '@testing-library/user-event'
+import { TodoList } from './TodoList'
+
+test('displays todos', async () => {
+  renderWithClient(<TodoList />)
+
+  expect(screen.getByText(/loading/i)).toBeInTheDocument()
+
+  await waitFor(() => {
+    expect(screen.getByText('Test todo')).toBeInTheDocument()
+  })
+})
+
+test('adds new todo', async () => {
+  renderWithClient(<TodoList />)
+
+  await waitFor(() => {
+    expect(screen.getByText('Test todo')).toBeInTheDocument()
+  })
+
+  const input = screen.getByPlaceholderText(/new todo/i)
+  const button = screen.getByRole('button', { name: /add/i })
+
+  await userEvent.type(input, 'Another todo')
+  await userEvent.click(button)
+
+  await waitFor(() => {
+    expect(screen.getByText('Another todo')).toBeInTheDocument()
+  })
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing with Prefilled Cache
+
+```tsx
+test('uses prefilled cache', () => {
+  const queryClient = createTestQueryClient()
+
+  // Prefill cache
+  queryClient.setQueryData(['todos'], [
+    { id: 1, title: 'Cached todo', completed: false },
+  ])
+
+  render(
+    <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
+      <TodoList />
+    </QueryClientProvider>
+  )
+
+  // Should immediately show cached data
+  expect(screen.getByText('Cached todo')).toBeInTheDocument()
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Optimistic Updates
+
+```tsx
+test('optimistic update rollback on error', async () => {
+  const queryClient = createTestQueryClient()
+  queryClient.setQueryData(['todos'], [
+    { id: 1, title: 'Original', completed: false },
+  ])
+
+  server.use(
+    http.patch('/api/todos/1', () => {
+      return new HttpResponse(null, { status: 500 })
+    })
+  )
+
+  const { result } = renderHook(() => useUpdateTodo(), {
+    wrapper: ({ children }) => (
+      <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>{children}</QueryClientProvider>
+    ),
+  })
+
+  act(() => {
+    result.current.mutate({ id: 1, completed: true })
+  })
+
+  // Check optimistic update
+  expect(queryClient.getQueryData(['todos'])).toEqual([
+    { id: 1, title: 'Original', completed: true },
+  ])
+
+  // Wait for rollback
+  await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.isError).toBe(true))
+
+  // Should rollback
+  expect(queryClient.getQueryData(['todos'])).toEqual([
+    { id: 1, title: 'Original', completed: false },
+  ])
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+✅ Disable retries in tests
+✅ Use MSW for consistent mocking
+✅ Test loading, success, and error states
+✅ Test optimistic updates and rollbacks
+✅ Use waitFor for async updates
+✅ Prefill cache when testing with existing data
+✅ Silence console errors in tests
+❌ Don't test implementation details
+❌ Don't mock TanStack Query internals

+# Top TanStack Query Errors & Solutions
+
+**Complete error reference with fixes**
+
+---
+
+## Error #1: Object Syntax Required
+
+**Error Message**:
+```
+TypeError: useQuery is not a function
+Property 'queryKey' does not exist on type...
+```
+
+**Why**:
+v5 removed function overloads, only object syntax works
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ v4 syntax
+useQuery(['todos'], fetchTodos)
+
+// ✅ v5 syntax
+useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+```
+
+**Source**: [v5 Migration Guide](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#removed-overloads-in-favor-of-object-syntax)
+
+---
+
+## Error #2: Query Callbacks Not Working
+
+**Error Message**:
+```
+Property 'onSuccess' does not exist on type 'UseQueryOptions'
+```
+
+**Why**:
+`onSuccess`, `onError`, `onSettled` removed from queries (still work in mutations)
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ v4
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  onSuccess: (data) => console.log(data)
+})
+
+// ✅ v5 - Use useEffect
+const { data } = useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (data) console.log(data)
+}, [data])
+```
+
+**Source**: [v5 Breaking Changes](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#callbacks-on-usequery-and-queryobserver-have-been-removed)
+
+---
+
+## Error #3: isLoading Always False
+
+**Error Message**:
+No error, but `isLoading` is false during initial fetch
+
+**Why**:
+v5 changed `isLoading` meaning: now `isPending && isFetching`
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ v4
+const { isLoading } = useQuery(...)
+if (isLoading) return <Loading />
+
+// ✅ v5
+const { isPending } = useQuery(...)
+if (isPending) return <Loading />
+```
+
+**Source**: [v5 Migration](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#isloading-and-isfetching-flags)
+
+---
+
+## Error #4: cacheTime Not Recognized
+
+**Error Message**:
+```
+Property 'cacheTime' does not exist on type 'UseQueryOptions'
+```
+
+**Why**:
+Renamed to `gcTime` (garbage collection time)
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ v4
+cacheTime: 1000 * 60 * 60
+
+// ✅ v5
+gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60
+```
+
+**Source**: [v5 Migration](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#cachetime-has-been-replaced-by-gcTime)
+
+---
+
+## Error #5: useSuspenseQuery + enabled
+
+**Error Message**:
+```
+Property 'enabled' does not exist on type 'UseSuspenseQueryOptions'
+```
+
+**Why**:
+Suspense guarantees data is available, can't conditionally disable
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ Wrong
+useSuspenseQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todo', id],
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+  enabled: !!id,
+})
+
+// ✅ Correct: Conditional rendering
+{id ? <TodoComponent id={id} /> : <div>No ID</div>}
+```
+
+**Source**: [GitHub Discussion #6206](https://github.com/TanStack/query/discussions/6206)
+
+---
+
+## Error #6: initialPageParam Required
+
+**Error Message**:
+```
+Property 'initialPageParam' is missing in type 'UseInfiniteQueryOptions'
+```
+
+**Why**:
+v5 requires explicit `initialPageParam` for infinite queries
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ v4
+useInfiniteQuery({
+  queryKey: ['projects'],
+  queryFn: ({ pageParam = 0 }) => fetchProjects(pageParam),
+  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+})
+
+// ✅ v5
+useInfiniteQuery({
+  queryKey: ['projects'],
+  queryFn: ({ pageParam }) => fetchProjects(pageParam),
+  initialPageParam: 0, // Required
+  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+})
+```
+
+**Source**: [v5 Migration](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#new-required-initialPageParam-option)
+
+---
+
+## Error #7: keepPreviousData Not Working
+
+**Error Message**:
+```
+Property 'keepPreviousData' does not exist on type 'UseQueryOptions'
+```
+
+**Why**:
+Replaced with `placeholderData` function
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ v4
+keepPreviousData: true
+
+// ✅ v5
+import { keepPreviousData } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+placeholderData: keepPreviousData
+```
+
+**Source**: [v5 Migration](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#removed-keeppreviousdata-in-favor-of-placeholderdata-identity-function)
+
+---
+
+## Error #8: TypeScript Error Type
+
+**Error Message**:
+Type errors when handling non-Error objects
+
+**Why**:
+v5 defaults to `Error` type instead of `unknown`
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// If throwing non-Error types, specify explicitly:
+const { error } = useQuery<DataType, string>({
+  queryKey: ['data'],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    if (fail) throw 'custom error string'
+    return data
+  },
+})
+
+// Better: Always throw Error objects
+throw new Error('Custom error')
+```
+
+**Source**: [v5 Migration](https://tanstack.com/query/latest/docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5#typeerror-is-now-the-default-error)
+
+---
+
+## Error #9: Query Not Refetching
+
+**Symptoms**:
+Data never updates even when stale
+
+**Why**:
+Usually config issue - check staleTime, refetch options
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// Check these settings
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  staleTime: 0, // Data stale immediately
+  refetchOnWindowFocus: true,
+  refetchOnMount: true,
+  refetchOnReconnect: true,
+})
+
+// Or manually refetch
+const { refetch } = useQuery(...)
+refetch()
+
+// Or invalidate
+queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] })
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error #10: Mutations Not Invalidating
+
+**Symptoms**:
+UI doesn't update after mutation
+
+**Why**:
+Forgot to invalidate queries
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+useMutation({
+  mutationFn: addTodo,
+  onSuccess: () => {
+    queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['todos'] }) // ✅ Required
+  },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error #11: Network Errors Not Caught
+
+**Symptoms**:
+App crashes on network errors
+
+**Why**:
+Not handling errors properly
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// Always handle errors
+const { data, error, isError } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/todos')
+    if (!response.ok) {
+      throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`) // ✅ Throw errors
+    }
+    return response.json()
+  },
+})
+
+if (isError) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error #12: Stale Closure in Callbacks
+
+**Symptoms**:
+Mutation callbacks use old data
+
+**Why**:
+Closure captures stale values
+
+**Fix**:
+```tsx
+// ❌ Stale closure
+const [value, setValue] = useState(0)
+useMutation({
+  onSuccess: () => {
+    console.log(value) // Stale!
+  },
+})
+
+// ✅ Use functional update
+useMutation({
+  onSuccess: () => {
+    setValue(prev => prev + 1) // Fresh value
+  },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Diagnosis Checklist
+
+- [ ] Using v5 object syntax?
+- [ ] Using `isPending` instead of `isLoading`?
+- [ ] Using `gcTime` instead of `cacheTime`?
+- [ ] No query callbacks (`onSuccess`, etc.)?
+- [ ] `initialPageParam` present for infinite queries?
+- [ ] Throwing errors in queryFn?
+- [ ] Invalidating queries after mutations?
+- [ ] Check DevTools for query state

+# TypeScript Patterns for TanStack Query
+
+**Type-safe query and mutation patterns**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Basic Type Inference
+
+```tsx
+type Todo = {
+  id: number
+  title: string
+  completed: boolean
+}
+
+// ✅ Automatic type inference
+const { data } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: async (): Promise<Todo[]> => {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/todos')
+    return response.json()
+  },
+})
+// data is typed as Todo[] | undefined
+```
+
+---
+
+## 2. Generic Query Hook
+
+```tsx
+function useEntity<T>(
+  endpoint: string,
+  id: number
+) {
+  return useQuery({
+    queryKey: [endpoint, id],
+    queryFn: async (): Promise<T> => {
+      const response = await fetch(`/api/${endpoint}/${id}`)
+      return response.json()
+    },
+  })
+}
+
+// Usage
+const { data } = useEntity<User>('users', 1)
+// data: User | undefined
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. queryOptions with Type Safety
+
+```tsx
+export const todosQueryOptions = queryOptions({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: async (): Promise<Todo[]> => {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/todos')
+    return response.json()
+  },
+  staleTime: 1000 * 60,
+})
+
+// Perfect type inference everywhere
+useQuery(todosQueryOptions)
+useSuspenseQuery(todosQueryOptions)
+queryClient.prefetchQuery(todosQueryOptions)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Mutation with Types
+
+```tsx
+type CreateTodoInput = {
+  title: string
+}
+
+type CreateTodoResponse = Todo
+
+const { mutate } = useMutation<
+  CreateTodoResponse, // TData
+  Error, // TError
+  CreateTodoInput, // TVariables
+  { previous?: Todo[] } // TContext
+>({
+  mutationFn: async (input) => {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/todos', {
+      method: 'POST',
+      body: JSON.stringify(input),
+    })
+    return response.json()
+  },
+})
+
+// Type-safe mutation
+mutate({ title: 'New todo' })
+```
+
+---
+
+## 5. Custom Error Types
+
+```tsx
+class ApiError extends Error {
+  constructor(
+    message: string,
+    public status: number,
+    public code: string
+  ) {
+    super(message)
+  }
+}
+
+const { data, error } = useQuery<Todo[], ApiError>({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/todos')
+    if (!response.ok) {
+      throw new ApiError(
+        'Failed to fetch',
+        response.status,
+        'FETCH_ERROR'
+      )
+    }
+    return response.json()
+  },
+})
+
+if (error) {
+  // error.status and error.code are typed
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Zod Schema Validation
+
+```tsx
+import { z } from 'zod'
+
+const TodoSchema = z.object({
+  id: z.number(),
+  title: z.string(),
+  completed: z.boolean(),
+})
+
+type Todo = z.infer<typeof TodoSchema>
+
+const { data } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    const response = await fetch('/api/todos')
+    const json = await response.json()
+    return TodoSchema.array().parse(json) // Runtime + compile time safety
+  },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Discriminated Union for Status
+
+```tsx
+type QueryState<T> =
+  | { status: 'pending'; data: undefined; error: null }
+  | { status: 'error'; data: undefined; error: Error }
+  | { status: 'success'; data: T; error: null }
+
+function useTypedQuery<T>(
+  queryKey: string[],
+  queryFn: () => Promise<T>
+): QueryState<T> {
+  const { data, status, error } = useQuery({ queryKey, queryFn })
+
+  return {
+    status,
+    data: data as any,
+    error: error as any,
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage with exhaustive checking
+const result = useTypedQuery(['todos'], fetchTodos)
+
+switch (result.status) {
+  case 'pending':
+    return <Loading />
+  case 'error':
+    return <Error error={result.error} /> // error is typed
+  case 'success':
+    return <TodoList todos={result.data} /> // data is typed
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 8. Type-Safe Query Keys
+
+```tsx
+// Define all query keys in one place
+const queryKeys = {
+  todos: {
+    all: ['todos'] as const,
+    lists: () => [...queryKeys.todos.all, 'list'] as const,
+    list: (filters: TodoFilters) =>
+      [...queryKeys.todos.lists(), filters] as const,
+    details: () => [...queryKeys.todos.all, 'detail'] as const,
+    detail: (id: number) =>
+      [...queryKeys.todos.details(), id] as const,
+  },
+}
+
+// Usage
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: queryKeys.todos.detail(1),
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodo(1),
+})
+
+queryClient.invalidateQueries({
+  queryKey: queryKeys.todos.all
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Utility Types
+
+```tsx
+import type { UseQueryResult, UseMutationResult } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+// Extract query data type
+type TodosQuery = UseQueryResult<Todo[]>
+type TodoData = TodosQuery['data'] // Todo[] | undefined
+
+// Extract mutation types
+type AddTodoMutation = UseMutationResult<
+  Todo,
+  Error,
+  CreateTodoInput
+>
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Strict Null Checks
+
+```tsx
+const { data } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todo', id],
+  queryFn: () => fetchTodo(id),
+})
+
+// ❌ TypeScript error if strictNullChecks enabled
+const title = data.title
+
+// ✅ Proper null handling
+const title = data?.title ?? 'No title'
+
+// ✅ Type guard
+if (data) {
+  const title = data.title // data is Todo, not undefined
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 11. SuspenseQuery Types
+
+```tsx
+const { data } = useSuspenseQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+})
+
+// data is ALWAYS Todo[], never undefined
+// No need for undefined checks with suspense
+data.map(todo => todo.title) // ✅ Safe
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+✅ Always type queryFn return value
+✅ Use const assertions for query keys
+✅ Leverage queryOptions for reusability
+✅ Use Zod for runtime + compile time validation
+✅ Enable strict null checks
+✅ Create type-safe query key factories
+✅ Use custom error types for better error handling

+# TanStack Query v4 to v5 Migration Guide
+
+**Complete migration checklist for upgrading from React Query v4 to TanStack Query v5**
+
+---
+
+## Breaking Changes Summary
+
+### 1. Object Syntax Required ⚠️
+
+**v4** allowed multiple signatures:
+```tsx
+useQuery(['todos'], fetchTodos, { staleTime: 5000 })
+useQuery(['todos'], fetchTodos)
+useQuery(queryOptions)
+```
+
+**v5** only supports object syntax:
+```tsx
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  staleTime: 5000
+})
+```
+
+**Migration**: Use codemod or manual update
+```bash
+npx @tanstack/react-query-codemod v5/remove-overloads
+```
+
+### 2. Query Callbacks Removed ⚠️
+
+**Removed from queries** (still work in mutations):
+- `onSuccess`
+- `onError`
+- `onSettled`
+
+**v4**:
+```tsx
+useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['todos'],
+  queryFn: fetchTodos,
+  onSuccess: (data) => console.log(data) // ❌ Removed
+})
+```
+
+**v5** - Use `useEffect`:
+```tsx
+const { data } = useQuery({ queryKey: ['todos'], queryFn: fetchTodos })
+
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (data) {
+    console.log(data)
+  }
+}, [data])
+```
+
+**Mutation callbacks still work**:
+```tsx
+useMutation({
+  mutationFn: addTodo,
+  onSuccess: () => {} // ✅ Still works
+})
+```
+
+### 3. `isLoading` → `isPending` ⚠️
+
+**v4**: `isLoading` meant "no data yet"
+**v5**: `isPending` means "no data yet", `isLoading` = `isPending && isFetching`
+
+```tsx
+// v4
+const { data, isLoading } = useQuery(...)
+if (isLoading) return <Loading />
+
+// v5
+const { data, isPending } = useQuery(...)
+if (isPending) return <Loading />
+```
+
+### 4. `cacheTime` → `gcTime` ⚠️
+
+```tsx
+// v4
+cacheTime: 1000 * 60 * 60
+
+// v5
+gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 60
+```
+
+### 5. `initialPageParam` Required for Infinite Queries ⚠️
+
+```tsx
+// v4
+useInfiniteQuery({
+  queryKey: ['projects'],
+  queryFn: ({ pageParam = 0 }) => fetchProjects(pageParam),
+  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+})
+
+// v5
+useInfiniteQuery({
+  queryKey: ['projects'],
+  queryFn: ({ pageParam }) => fetchProjects(pageParam),
+  initialPageParam: 0, // ✅ Required
+  getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.nextCursor,
+})
+```
+
+### 6. `keepPreviousData` → `placeholderData` ⚠️
+
+```tsx
+// v4
+keepPreviousData: true
+
+// v5
+import { keepPreviousData } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+
+placeholderData: keepPreviousData
+```
+
+### 7. `useErrorBoundary` → `throwOnError` ⚠️
+
+```tsx
+// v4
+useErrorBoundary: true
+
+// v5
+throwOnError: true
+
+// Or conditional:
+throwOnError: (error) => error.status >= 500
+```
+
+### 8. Error Type Default Changed
+
+**v4**: `error: unknown`
+**v5**: `error: Error`
+
+If throwing non-Error types:
+```tsx
+const { error } = useQuery<DataType, string>({
+  queryKey: ['data'],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    if (fail) throw 'custom string error'
+    return data
+  },
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-Step Migration
+
+### Step 1: Update Packages
+
+```bash
+npm install @tanstack/react-query@latest
+npm install -D @tanstack/react-query-devtools@latest
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run Codemods
+
+```bash
+# Remove function overloads
+npx @tanstack/react-query-codemod v5/remove-overloads
+
+# Replace removed/renamed methods
+npx @tanstack/react-query-codemod v5/rename-properties
+```
+
+### Step 3: Manual Fixes
+
+1. Replace query callbacks with useEffect
+2. Replace `isLoading` with `isPending`
+3. Replace `cacheTime` with `gcTime`
+4. Add `initialPageParam` to infinite queries
+5. Replace `keepPreviousData` with `placeholderData`
+
+### Step 4: TypeScript Fixes
+
+Update type imports:
+```tsx
+// v4
+import type { UseQueryResult } from 'react-query'
+
+// v5
+import type { UseQueryResult } from '@tanstack/react-query'
+```
+
+### Step 5: Test Thoroughly
+
+- Check all queries work
+- Verify mutations invalidate correctly
+- Test error handling
+- Check infinite queries
+- Verify TypeScript types
+
+---
+
+## Common Migration Issues
+
+### Issue: Callbacks not firing
+**Cause**: Query callbacks removed
+**Fix**: Use useEffect or move to mutations
+
+### Issue: isLoading always false
+**Cause**: Meaning changed
+**Fix**: Use isPending for initial load
+
+### Issue: cacheTime not recognized
+**Cause**: Renamed
+**Fix**: Use gcTime
+
+### Issue: infinite query type error
+**Cause**: initialPageParam required
+**Fix**: Add initialPageParam
+
+---
+
+## Full Codemod List
+
+```bash
+# All v5 codemods
+npx @tanstack/react-query-codemod v5/remove-overloads
+npx @tanstack/react-query-codemod v5/rename-properties
+npx @tanstack/react-query-codemod v5/replace-imports
+```
+
+**Note**: Codemods may not catch everything - manual review required!

+/**
+ * Key patterns demonstrated:
+ *
+ * 1. API Layer: Centralized fetch functions
+ * 2. Query Options Factories: Reusable queryOptions
+ * 3. Custom Hooks: Encapsulate query logic
+ * 4. Mutation Hooks: Encapsulate mutation logic
+ * 5. Cache Updates: setQueryData, invalidateQueries, removeQueries
+ * 6. Prefetching: Improve perceived performance
+ * 7. Conditional Queries: enabled option
+ * 8. Search/Filter: Derived queries from base data
+ *
+ * Benefits:
+ * ✅ Type safety throughout
+ * ✅ Easy to test (mock API layer)
+ * ✅ Reusable across components
+ * ✅ Consistent error handling
+ * ✅ Optimized caching strategy
+ * ✅ Better code organization
