Why the docs recommend react-query over alternatives

[IGassmann]

In the React Vue Guide, GraphQL Code Generator recommends using @tanstack/react-query.

What are the reasons behind recommending react-query over a more GraphQL-centric client such as URQL or Apollo Client? Are there some key benefits that react-query has over those alternatives? I'd love to hear your thoughts behind this recommendation. :)

If you're referring to the following section:

I believe it is meant to be an information block for @tanstack/react-query users, meaning that if you use @tanstack/react-query, it is recommended to use it with graphql-request@^5.0.0 due to GraphQL Code Generator integration. Not that it is recommended to use GraphQL Code Generator with @tanstack/react-query. Most examples default to React Apollo and GraphQL Code Generator is working well with most modern GraphQL clients and frameworks.

Additionally, there's an appendix for using React Query with a custom fetcher in case you don't want to use the highly recommended one, graphql-request@^5.0.0.

It looks like I misinterpreted this section.

It might be worth rephrasing it to something similar to the following to avoid confusion for other readers :)

If you're using @tanstack/react-query, we recommend using it with graphql-request@^5.0.0 to get the best developer experience.
