GQI – Does a query gets executed for each component?

Hi Dojo,

I have a page on which 2 different components are linked to the same GQI query. Both components are using different columns of that query. I'm wondering when loading the page if the query is executed only once or 2 times?

Hi Jens,

Components that are using the exact same query will only execute the query once if they request data at the same time. When one of the components would request its data at a later time, eg when outside of the initial view and becoming visible, the query is executed again.

Hi Wout, what when we fetch the data again for component 1 because a change happened. Will component 2 also be updated in the backend? Or do we need to execute the fetch data action for that component separately?

The second component will not be updated when executing a 'Fetch data' action for the first component.
