I'm using react router and apollo client (v 3.0) in my react project. I have a nested route, let's say A -> B, where I use useQuery hooks to fetch different sets of data via graphql queries, let's say QA and QB respectively. In B I receive a new message via WS about a new piece of data from QB, so I update apollo store cache via client.writeQuery for QB, however this piece of data also contains a nested entity that requested in QA, so this cache update not only triggers rerender of components with useQuery hook of QB but also QA, which produces the following warning:
Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application.
To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in a useEffect cleanup function.
I added the following debug to the B component:
console.log('WRITE');
client.writeQuery(...)
and to the A component:
useEffect(() => {
console.log('MOUNT');
return () => {
console.log('UNMOUNT');
};
}, []);
and got:
WRITE
UNMOUNT
MOUNT
So component A unmounts after I update cache via client.writeQuery.
Why does this happen and how to fix that?
