Run Apollo request to React console only (no queryData and lifecycle)

I use Apollo extensively in a fairly large React application I'm building and ran into the same limitation several times.

I want to execute the query on component mounts only, so that changing this subthreshold component will not trigger the query again. I also really want to keep the container template where I declare my request in the container, wrap my component and forget about it, so that my component itself stays clean of any Apollo stuff. So far, I could do this by creating my own high level Apollo component that takes a component, a query and its parameters, and returns a new component that will automatically fire queryData on componentDidMount. Here is the code . Then I use it like this:apolloQueryHOC(MyComponent, queryOptions);

But on a new component, I started to implement paging, and this approach just doesn't work / gets too ugly for the complex paging logic I have implemented. Thing is, it works like a charm when I use Apollo's basic container approach. But it works on every route / support change.

So my question is, is there a way to run a "container" request on mount only, other than using withApollo

, etc.
