reexecuteQuery for jotai/urql

Do I understand correctly that there is no mechanism at all to reexecute a query in jotai/urql? In the regular urql hooks there is this method: https://formidable.com/open-source/urql/docs/basics/react-preact/#reexecuting-queries

const Todos = ({ from, limit }) => {
  const [result, reexecuteQuery] = useQuery({
    query: TodosListQuery,
    variables: { from, limit },
  });

  const refresh = () => {
    // Refetch the query and skip the cache
    reexecuteQuery({ requestPolicy: 'network-only' });
  };
};

Not being able to reexecute queries seems like a rather big limitation.

That util would be the perfect temporary measure for now, until the world figures out new design patterns 👍

You’re absolutely right, this is a case of a future pattern not yet having gone through enough discovery to find all the right use cases.

However, combined with a util like that one, this makes it perfectly usable in the real world. I’ll jump over there and see what the state of it is.

Yeah, fetching is in react-urql. jotai atoms are designed for Suspense and useTransition, which might be too futuristic for now. I understand that distinguishing between the initial fetching and refetching is important in the real use case. We hope to come up with some ideas for both jotai/urql and jotai/query. btw, you might be interested in the new util at #672 https://github.com/pmndrs/jotai/issues/672. Actually, it could solve refetching issue there.

Apart from jotai, I wonder how drag to refersh and background refetch will be implemented as best practices in Suspense era.
