[Help] Guidance on Handling Layout-Specific Queries and User Store with Plugin

[banavasi]

Hi,

Thank you for creating this amazing library! I'm working on a use case that I think fits perfectly with this plugin's capabilities.

Use Case

Multiple Layouts:
I have multiple layouts, such as a.layout, b.layout, and c.layout. Each layout has associated pages (e.g., a1.page and b1.page).
Avoiding Redundant API Calls:
When a user navigates from a1.page to b1.page, I make similar API calls for a.layout. Using this plugin's query caching, I can avoid deduping these API calls, which is fantastic!

Token Validation on Layout Changes:
On every layout refresh or change, I need to validate the user token by making an API call. This validation returns vital user information such as email, firstname, lastname, etc.

Challenges and Questions

Synchronizing the User Store with the Query Cache:

• I need to store the fetched user info (email, firstname, lastname, etc.) in a centralized userStore.
• How can I ensure that the query cache and the store remain synchronized? For example, If I update the user name I need call the same api to update the user info across the app?
• How to access QueryCache in the store for preparing the computed data. Like creating user full name, by joining firstName and lastName etc.

Dependent API Calls:

• After the initial token validation API call, I get a userId.
• Using this userId, I need to make 10 parallel API calls, each fetching specific user-related data (e.g., preferences, settings, etc.). Each API has its own query and caching logic.
• What is the best way to organize these dependent API calls and ensure the results are efficiently stored in their respective queries or the userStore?

Ideal Solution

I'm looking for best practices or examples on:

• Keeping the query cache and the userStore synchronized.
• Managing dependent API calls where one query's result is required for multiple subsequent parallel queries.
• Structuring the Pinia store and queries for scalability and maintainability in such a setup.

Thank you in advance for your help!
