Apollo return same data even datatype and url is changed through variables

[Tjajeer]

I am creating generic queries for all our one module

  query executeRest($path: String!, $dataType: String!) {
    results: executeRest @rest(type: $dataType, path: $path) {
      results
      message
    }
  }

at one place we call it

      variables: {
        path: "/api/people",
        dataType: "people",
      }

at another places

      variables: {
        path: "/api/sections",
        dataType: "sections",
      }

when we call second api that is sections its modifying the people api data as well

I think ApolloClient (Upstream) doesn’t realize that the $path or dataType is a cache-busting value.

Apollo has a cacheKey method/api that you can configure to dynamically set the cache-id. I recommend you examine these docs: https://www.apollographql.com/docs/react/caching/cache-configuration#customizing-cache-ids

Generally I wouldn’t recommend making the path dynamic unless the response is safe to store in the same Normalized Cache entry. This also means you probably don’t want the dataType to ever be dynamic. You may be able to work around this issue with the above apis!
