Wonder how this would compare with react-freeze + react-navigation integration Any idea @hirbod.dev @kzzzf.bsky.social ? github.com/software-man...

freeze works automatically across all the screens in the app, so there's no need to configure that on individual query level, and it is also agnostic to whoever triggered re-render.

the difference here is that unsubscribing from queries also prevents the query logic from running (I don't know react query well enough to be able to tell how much of a saving that could be). So in this case it also skips the query logic + the render (unless there's another factor triggering render)

This was one of the topics that I had with @tkdodo.eu. React freeze did prevent re-rendering, but the observers would still fetch and run, just the rendering would be frozen. With the new flag, you can make sure to stop out of screen views/components from actually doing anything unless subscribed

Nice feature! I remember you were working on a PR to reduce observers via some staleTime change, do you know if that is something still being looked into? Thanks Dom!

You can find more on how that works in the React Native guides in our docs. Thanks @hirbod.dev for working on this with me and flodlc for contributing the docs 🙌
