exclude certain endpoints in resetApiState

[bryanprimus]

Is there a way to exclude certain endpoints from resetApiState util?

my app has a simulation feature. when the user starts the simulation. backend will start sending simulation data.

the problem is the network request that was already made through rtk query will be cached. I need to reset all the cache data and then I found resetApiState, but I want to exclude some endpoints (in this case authEndpoints) so that it won't get reset.

for now, I ended up separating authApi from mainApi and only calling resetApiState with mainApi

import { createApi } from '@reduxjs/toolkit/query/react'

const authApi = createApi({})

const mainApi = createApi({})

store.dispatch(mainApi.util.resetApiState());

but I believe as mentioned here it is not recommended way. we should only have one API slice for the rtk query

No, resetApiState is designed to remove everything. There's been a number of requests for the ability to remove a single cache entry, but we haven't worked on that specifically.

(There is an internal "remove" action, but I'm not sure if it actually does all the cleanup you might need in such a case.)

@markerikson hello. It may be useful, when we use injectEndpoints method for splitting api into modules. For example, there are two modules (in real project we have about 50 modules):

// modules/cart/api.ts
export const cartApi = baseApi.injectEndpoints({ ... })

// modules/user/api.ts
export const userApi = baseApi.injectEndpoints({ ... })

// ...

and I want to clear only cartApi cache with cartApi.util.resetApiState(), but change will be reset in all baseApi. Do you have any ideas (or recommendation), how reset cache from endpoints only in cartApi ?

out of curiosity, is tag invalidation not what you want? It'll remove any queries that don't have any subscriptions left, and will refetch the ones that do.
