Hi @Joe Gaffney. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
It seems like you are experiencing an issue with
useList
where it returns stale data if the length of the data has not changed. This issue is somewhat similar to the one reported with useTable
where stale data was returned while loading when using pagination.
To address this, you might want to ensure that you are using the latest version of refine, as there have been fixes related to stale data issues in previous versions. For example, the issue with useTable
was resolved in version @pankod/refine@2.4.5
(source (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/1316)).
Here is a basic example of how to use the useList
hook with sorting:
If you are still facing issues, you might want to check if the staleTime
option is being ignored, as was the case in another issue with useSelect
(source (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5843)). Ensuring that the staleTime
is set correctly might help in preventing stale data from being returned.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the useList documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/) and the sorting section (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/#sorting).
If the problem persists, consider opening a new issue on the refine GitHub repository (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues) with detailed steps to reproduce the behavior.

----------------------
It looks like you are using the
useList
hook to fetch data and update the state with the fetched data. However, you are noticing that the queryData
might be stale if the length of the data has not changed. Here is a refined approach to ensure that the data is updated correctly:
Key Points:
1. State Management: You are correctly using useState
to manage the local state.
2. useList Hook: The useList
hook is used to fetch data from the specified resource.
3. onSuccess Callback: The onSuccess
callback in queryOptions
is used to update the local state with the fetched data.
Potential Issues and Solutions:
- Stale Data: If you are experiencing stale data, ensure that the queryKey
is unique and changes when the query parameters change. This will force the query to refetch the data.
- React Query Devtools: Use the React Query Devtools to inspect the query state and ensure that the query is being refetched as expected.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the useList documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/) and the sorting section (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/#sorting).
If the problem persists, consider opening a new issue on the refine GitHub repository (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues) with detailed steps to reproduce the behavior.

I apologize for the confusion. Let's address the issue more directly. If you are experiencing stale data with
useList
, you might need to ensure that the query is refetched correctly when the parameters change.

@kapa.ai it is making the calls the backend etc and things are presented correctly in the data provider it is just in the result retuned to the hook
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
It sounds like the issue is not with making the calls to the backend or the data provider itself, but rather with the result returned to the
useList
hook. This can sometimes happen due to caching or state management issues.
Here are a few steps you can take to ensure that the useList
hook returns the most up-to-date data:
1. Ensure Unique Query Keys
Make sure that the query key used by useList
is unique and changes when the query parameters change. This will force the query to refetch the data.
2. Use refetch
Method
You can use the refetch
method provided by useList
to manually refetch the data whenever necessary.
3. Check staleTime
and cacheTime
Ensure that the staleTime
and cacheTime
options are set appropriately to avoid returning stale data.
Here is an example of how you can implement these steps:
Key Points:
1. State Management: You are correctly using useState
to manage the local state.
2. useList Hook: The useList
hook is used to fetch data from the specified resource.
3. onSuccess Callback: The onSuccess
callback in queryOptions
is used to update the local state with the fetched data.
4. useEffect Hook: The useEffect
hook is used to refetch the data whenever queryBody
changes. This ensures that the latest data is fetched and the state is updated accordingly.
5. staleTime and cacheTime: Setting staleTime
and cacheTime
to 0
ensures that the data is not cached and is considered stale immediately, forcing a refetch.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the useList documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/) and the sorting section (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/#sorting).

@kapa.ai this is my getList is is a bit custom as im a passing a key value pair result. But seems something happeds to data and its some how sorted caputeing the list of the keys seesmt be correct when going back to the useList hook getList: async ({ resource, pagination, filters, sorters, meta }) => {
const url =
${apiUrl}/api/${getResourceUrl(resource, meta)}

It looks like your custom
getList
function is returning data in a way that might be causing issues with how useList
processes it. Specifically, you mentioned that the data seems to be sorted at some point, which might be causing the stale data issue.
Here is a refined approach to ensure that the data is returned correctly and processed by useList
:
Custom getList
Function
Ensure that your getList
function returns the data in the expected format. The dataProvider
should return an array of objects for the data
field.
Using useList
Hook
Ensure that you are using the useList
hook correctly to fetch and display the data.
Key Points:
1. Custom getList
Function: Ensure that the data
field returned by getList
is an array of objects. This is crucial for useList
to process the data correctly.
2. State Management: Use useState
to manage the local state and update it with the fetched data.
3. useList Hook: Use the useList
hook to fetch data from the specified resource and handle the onSuccess
callback to update the local state.
4. useEffect Hook: Use the useEffect

It seems like the issue is that the
data
object returned by useList
is being sorted somewhere in the process, while dataList
remains correct. This could be due to how the data is being processed or transformed within the useList
hook or the data provider.

@kapa.ai but it still does not explain if i pass an object from getList where does this sorting take place is inside the useList hook?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The sorting behavior you are experiencing is likely happening within the
useList
hook or the data provider itself. The useList
hook and the data provider are designed to handle sorting based on the sorters
parameter you pass to them.
How Sorting Works in useList
When you pass the sorters
parameter to the useList
hook, it forwards this parameter to the getList
method of the data provider. The data provider is responsible for applying the sorting logic based on the sorters
parameter.
Example of useList
with Sorting
Here is an example of how you might use the useList
hook with sorting:
Custom getList
Function
Ensure that your custom getList
function correctly handles the sorting logic if necessary. Here is an example:
Conclusion
The sorting is likely happening within the useList
hook or the data provider based on the sorters
parameter you pass. Ensure that your custom getList
function handles sorting correctly if you need to apply custom sorting logic.

@kapa.ai to explain again passing list data from the data provider keeps the result correct but if i try and pass an object it seems to get reordered. I did not experience this with useCustom only with useList
const { data: queryData } = useList({
pagination: { mode: "off" },
resource: props.collection,
meta: { payload: queryBody, resourceRoute:
return { data: data, dataObject: data, // correct dataList: dataList, // correct total: Object.keys(data).length, }; },
${props.collection}/query
},
queryOptions: {
onSuccess: (data) => {
setData(data?.data);
},
},
});
console.log(Object.keys(queryData?.dataObject {}), "incorrect");
console.log(queryData?.dataList, "correct");
// data provider
getList: async ({ resource, pagination, filters, sorters, meta }) => {
const url = ${apiUrl}/api/${getResourceUrl(resource, meta)}

const { headers: headersFromMeta, method, payload } = meta ?? {};
const { data, headers } = await httpClient["post"](url, payload {}, {

It seems like you are experiencing an issue where passing an object from the data provider to the
useList
hook results in the object being reordered, while the list remains correct. This issue does not occur with useCustom
, only with useList
.
Explanation
The useList
hook is designed to work with arrays of objects, which might be causing the reordering issue when you pass an object. The useCustom
hook, on the other hand, does not impose such constraints, which is why you do not experience the same issue with it.
Example Code
Here is an example of how you are using the useList
hook and the custom getList
function:
#### Using useList
Hook
#### Custom getList
Function
Solution
To avoid the reordering issue, you should ensure that the data
field returned by the getList
function is an array of objects. If you need to pass additional data (like dataObject
), you can include it in the meta
field or handle it separately.
Conclusion
The useList
hook expects the data
field to be an array of objects, which might be causing the reordering issue when you pass an object. Ensure that the data
field returned by the getList
function is an array of objects to avoid this issue.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the useList documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/) and the sorting section (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/#sorting).

@kapa.ai is there anywhere in the refine useList hook that could be doing this sorting or re-casting that could mess up the object data can you check the source code
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the provided information and the behavior you're experiencing, it seems that the
useList
hook or the data provider might be processing the data in a way that affects the order of the object keys. Let's investigate if there is any part of the useList
hook that could be causing this issue.
Source Code Investigation
From the knowledge sources provided, we know that the useList
hook is built on top of the getList
method from the data provider. The useList
hook forwards parameters like pagination
, filters
, and sorters
to the getList
method.
Here is a snippet from the useList
documentation:
Custom getList
Function
Your custom getList
function should return the data in the expected format. If you need to pass additional data (like dataObject
), you can include it in the meta
field or handle it separately.
Using useList
Hook
You can use the useList
hook to fetch the data and handle the object data separately.
Conclusion
The useList
hook expects the data
field to be an array of objects, which might be causing the reordering issue when you pass an object. Ensure that the data
field returned by the getList
function is an array of objects to avoid this issue.

Given your requirement to use
useList
to benefit from automatic query invalidation and other features, but still needing to pass and handle object data without it being reordered, here is a structured approach to achieve this:

@kapa.ai will the automatic invalidation also invalidate useCustom or could I provide some sort of query key so it would
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Automatic Invalidation with
useList
and useCustom
To leverage the automatic invalidation features of useList
while also using useCustom
, you can ensure that both hooks share the same query key. This way, when useList
invalidates its query, it will also invalidate the query used by useCustom
.
Using useList
with a Custom Query Key
First, ensure that your useList
hook is set up with a specific query key:
Using useCustom
with the Same Query Key
Next, set up your useCustom
hook to use the same query key:
Key Points:
1. Shared Query Key: By using the same query key for both useList
and useCustom
, you ensure that invalidation of one will affect the other.
2. Automatic Invalidation: When useList
invalidates its query, it will also invalidate the query used by useCustom
, ensuring data consistency.
3. State Management: Use useState
to manage the local state and update it with the fetched data and the object data separately.
Conclusion
By sharing the same query key between useList
and useCustom
, you can leverage the automatic invalidation features of useList
to also invalidate the queries used by useCustom
. This ensures that your data remains consistent across different parts of your application.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the useList documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-list/) and the useCustom documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/hooks/use-custom/).
