SSR functionality with react-query.
Provides SSR functionality from Next.js‘s Pages Router and App Router’s Client Component.
It also works with React Router.
SSR does not use the functionality of the respective frameworks and works only with standard React functionality. Therefore, it does not require any environment.

react-query-ssr provides an alternative hydration approach compared to the official @tanstack/react-query's HydrationBoundary.
| Feature | Official HydrationBoundary |
react-query-ssr (SSRProvider) |
|---|---|---|
| Prefetch Implementation | Explicit: Requires calling await queryClient.prefetchQuery(...) on the server before rendering. |
Implicit / Automatic: Automatically detects Promises inside components during SSR and waits for them. |
| Data Transfer Mechanism | React Component Props: Passes dehydrated state via props (state prop), which is serialized into RSC payload / page props. |
HTML <script> tag: Injects JSON.stringifyed state directly into a <script id="__REACT_QUERY_DATA_PROMISE__" type="application/json"> tag. |
| Code Verbosity | Higher: Requires writing extra data-fetching code on the server-side. | Lower: No server-specific fetching code is needed. Components with useQuery work directly out-of-the-box. |
| Best Suited For | - Standard RSC (App Router) environments. - Pages Router with explicit prefetching APIs ( getServerSideProps). |
- Simplified SSR setups where you want to write components once and run them on both server/client without duplicate fetch logic. |
Instead of requiring manual prefetching on the server, react-query-ssr intercepts pending promises generated by useQuery during the SSR rendering cycle. If there are unresolved queries, it throws a Promise.all of these pending promises, triggering React's Suspense cycle on the server to wait for data resolution. Once resolved, it renders the HTML and injects the cache into a <script> tag for the client to hydrate automatically.
Do not use <Suspense> for components using useSSR in ServerSide.
You will not be able to wait for asynchronous data.
