can optimisticUpdate be use in production ? any repo example ?

I need to use optimistic update in convex.

https://github.com/get-convex/convex-chess/blob/65d733a57a73618aa4ccebb16672b5d3b04259a3/pages/play/[id].tsx#L35 This example uses optimistic updates

@upper steeple Also this is a beta feature so it can be changed in the future

[upper steeple]

Thanks, any ETA when will this feature would be out of BETA ?

I made an app like this that can drag and drop and compactable

does not seem to be on the Q 1.5 plan: #announcements message but I think you can add your request to add to it the plan in the discussion thread about it

[upper steeple]

I see thanks 🙏

Do you think it’s better to me to use this beta feature ? Or any other way to solve same problem without useOptimistic ?

Or any other solution outside of convex ?

[tribal haven]

I think the best is to use this beta feature because the convex support is so good that it fixes your problem instantly. so you will encounter more problems with this beta feature but bug fixes etc. are coming very fast after you reported them.

• If you give more feedback it will get stable much faster and you can be a part of deciding how this feature will look like. if it's out of beta it will be harder to change this API

[stark sedge]

The beta label doesn’t mean that the feature is buggy (it’s been unchanged and working well for over a year), it’s there because we might evolve the API which might require code changes for you to upgrade in the future.

Data point: I've been using optimistic updates for over six months and haven't yet encountered a bug.

Thanks guys 🙏 @tribal haven @stark sedge @velvet dock

will try to explore.

this optimisticUpdate I just need to update the localStore right ? and the refresh will handle by the mutation ?

[velvet dock]

My loose understanding is that an optimistic update synchronously results in a temporary update for any setQuery() calls, and is overwritten when the data updates upon mutation resolution.

(so yes)
