TanStack Query

TanStack Query is the server-state cache and mutation layer used across Tulip data flows.

TanStack Query manages server state, caching, invalidation, and mutations.

Tulip uses it as the shared client-side data layer for ORPC-driven screens, command mutations, inline editing, tables, and app providers.

  • @tulip-systems/app wraps apps in QueryClientProvider.
  • @tulip-systems/query/tanstack-query exports shared query client helpers.
  • Commands receive mutation options.
  • Inline editing receives mutation options.
  • Data Tables commonly load data with query options.
  • TanStack DB collections can reuse the shared query client.
