Reset store after logout with Apollo client
If you need to clear your cache and don't want to fetch all active queries you can use:
client.cache.reset()
client
being your Apollo client.
Keep in mind that this will NOT trigger the onResetStore
event.
client.resetStore() doesn't actually reset the store. It refetches all active queries
Above statement is very correct.
I was also having the logout related problem. After using client.resetStore()
It refetched all pending queries, so if you logout the user and remove session token after logout you will get authentication errors.
I used below approach to solve this problem -
<Mutation mutation={LOGOUT_MUTATION} onCompleted={()=> { sessionStorage.clear() client.clearStore().then(() => { client.resetStore(); history.push('/login') }); }} > {logout => ( <button onClick={() => { logout(); }} > Logout <span>{user.userName}</span> </button> )} </Mutation>
Important part is this function -
onCompleted={()=> { sessionStorage.clear(); // or localStorage client.clearStore().then(() => { client.resetStore(); history.push('/login') . // redirect user to login page }); }}
you can use useApolloClient
to access apollo client.
import { useApolloClient } from "@apollo/client";const client = useApolloClient();client.clearStore();
