revalidate every second

[wise bay]

is revalidating every second fine? or would it be better to do something like Server-Sent events?

[quaint veldt]

i generally wouldn't revalidate every second because that's going to hit all matching loaders

but if you have a fetcher polling a resource route every second that's ok

SSE's will let the server determine when to send new data, so that can be better if it isn't guaranteed to change every second

or if it might change faster than that

[wise bay]

is it possible to poll the current root loader without cause all mathcing loaders to fire?

[quaint veldt]

technically yes, but it requires adding shouldRevalidate to your other loaders

I'd recommend a resource route that calls the same functions your root loader does

possibly you could just make it call the root loader function itself

[wise bay]

i meant route loader sorry

[quaint veldt]

might be able to do a resource route like this

import { loader as rootLoader } from '../root.tsx'

export async function loader(args: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
  return rootLoader(args)
}

hitting all matching loaders isn't the worst thing in the world

if your route is highly nested like there's 4 or 5 routes above then there's gonna be extra server load happening a lot
