"Inline" ky extend?

[filipjakov]

I have the following situation:

• monorepo with multiple apps
• decided to extract the data layer into a separate monorepo package (lets call it lib)
• would define the "baseline" ky instance in that lib

since there could be env/app specific overrides for the ky client in each app (prefixUrl, hooks, ...), I'd like to have an "inline" extend -> the idea would be to import the ky client into the app of usage, do specific overrides (extends). It would apply automatically from the perspective of the lib.

TLDR: As far as I figured, ky.extend creates a new instance. I could use a "singleton" instance in this situation that could be extendable from for each app that uses the lib.

is this possible? is there a better approach to this problem?

It might help if you could show an example of how you want it to work.

From what I can tell, the current .extend() mechanism would work ok for your situation. You can make an instance with custom options for each app. If they need to share options, you could make a root instance that they all extend from.

Thanks for getting back.

Your answer makes sense, but I forgot some crucial info 😅 I'm using a hook generator library (kubb for React Query) in that monorepo package, and it needs a client instance (ky) to point to when it generates the hooks queries.

Will try to create a simple example to share
