useQuery()

The hooks provided by @trpc/react are a thin wrapper around React Query. For in-depth information about options and usage patterns, refer to their docs on Queries.

function useQuery(
pathAndInput: [string, TInput?],
opts?: UseTRPCQueryOptions;
)

The first argument is a [path, input]-tuple - if the input is optional, you can omit the , input-part.

You'll notice that you get autocompletion on the path and automatic typesafety on the input.

Example

Backend code
import * as trpc from '@trpc/server';
import { z } from 'zod';

trpc
.router()
// Create procedure at path 'hello'
.query('hello', {
// using zod schema to validate and infer input values
input: z
.object({
text: z.string().nullish(),
})
.nullish(),
resolve({ input }) {
return {
greeting: `hello ${input?.text ?? 'world'}`,
};
},
});
import { trpc } from '../utils/trpc';

export function MyComponent() {
// input is optional, so we don't have to pass second argument
const helloNoArgs = trpc.useQuery(['hello']);
const helloWithArgs = trpc.useQuery(['hello', { text: 'client' }]);

return (
<div>
<h1>Hello World Example</h1>
<ul>
<li>
helloNoArgs ({helloNoArgs.status}):{' '}
<pre>{JSON.stringify(helloNoArgs.data, null, 2)}</pre>
</li>
<li>
helloWithArgs ({helloWithArgs.status}):{' '}
<pre>{JSON.stringify(helloWithArgs.data, null, 2)}</pre>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
);
}
