RTKQ - How can I always fetch on first render?

[LoyalPotato]

Hello,

Right now I have an endpoint defined with queryFn and uses the baseQuery to make the request.
I'm not providing any tags for this endpoint as well.
But when checking the network tab for requests, it's only making a first one request and then on subsequent renders, such as going to another page that is using the same query hook, but it's a new render, it's not making the request.

Why's that? How can I make sure that on every first render, that the request will be made?

@LoyalPotato : that's one of the main purposes of RTKQ - to reuse cached data without having to re-fetch it every time.

If you really want to refetch when a different component mounts, use the refetchOnMountOrArgChange in either createApi or the hook call itself.

Yeah I know and I do use that feature in the rest of the endpoints :)
It was just one endpoint that I defined in an api that needed this behaviour.
I ended up using the forceRefetch: true, which is also mentioned in the link you sent.

Thank you for your help!
