Most importantly, this change allows callers of
cache.modify
(#5909) to avoid passing"ROOT_QUERY"
as the ID for modifications of root Query data.Making the
dataId
parameter optional and moving it after themodifiers
parameter felt much more idiomatic and understandable than than trying to support two conflicting type signatures for themodify
method, even though that extra effort could have avoided the breaking change.Please remember that the
cache.modify
API was added relatively recently in@apollo/client@3.0.0-beta.34
by PR #5909, so it has never been out of beta testing, so breaking changes like this are still fair game.
