🎯 Changes

Docs to describe the changes in #10658

All references to the deprecated imperative methods have been replaced with appropriate uses of query or infiniteQuery, and the old methods have been removed from the references.

AI Disclamer

Pretty sure I would have asked for "did I miss any old methods" but I would have written/rewritten all docs files myself, aside from what are one-word grammar fixes.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm run test:pr.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation replaces deprecated imperative query methods with query and infiniteQuery. Examples now show returned data, ignored promises, explicit error handling, stale-time behavior, and framework-specific SSR or router usage.

Changes

Imperative query documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
QueryClient API reference and migration
docs/reference/QueryClient.md, docs/framework/react/guides/migrating-to-v5.md
Documents query and infiniteQuery as replacements for older imperative methods.
React prefetching and SSR flows

Updates React prefetch and SSR examples to use query, with awaited or non-blocking calls and explicit error handling.
Shared options and API examples
docs/framework/react/guides/initial-query-data.md, docs/framework/react/guides/query-options.md, docs/framework/react/reference/*Options.md, docs/framework/react/typescript.md, docs/eslint/stable-query-client.md
Updates shared query-option, initial-data, TypeScript, and lint examples to use query.
Angular, Solid, and Svelte loading guides
docs/framework/angular/..., docs/framework/solid/..., docs/framework/svelte/ssr.md
Updates framework examples for query, promise handling, route loading, and SSR error behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cb955

This documentation update replaces deprecated imperative-method examples with query/infiniteQuery guidance, but several current examples are not usable as written: one cannot compile, some can trigger an unhandled rejection or reference undefined helpers, and an infinite-query example omits a required option while reference links use invalid anchors. These bounded documentation correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Make prefetchProjects asynchronous.

The function contains await but is declared as () =>. The code block is invalid JavaScript/TypeScript. Declare it as async before using await.

Proposed fix
-const prefetchProjects = () => {
+const prefetchProjects = async () => {

## `queryClient.infiniteQuery`

`fetchInfiniteQuery` is similar to `fetchQuery` but can be used to fetch and cache an infinite query.

Add initialPageParam to the infiniteQuery example. InfiniteQueryExecuteOptions requires initialPageParam. getNextPageParam is required only when pages is provided.

I guess we’ll ship this after I’ve cut-off a release? Is there any other PR that has runtime functionality that we should merge first?

I'd say if push come to shove, were good with doing a release and then merging this in to get the new docs up. the big peace that's missing is the Vue client proxy that's detailed in #11208. you could do a release without the Vue piece and not break Vue user but it would obviously be incomplete. #10668 and #10669 are just updates to the prefetching hooks to remove internal dependencies on the deprecated methods
