Really appreciate your feedback. Let me pass it along to the team. I agree that we could do a better job of documenting when queries are reinvoked depending on what options and variables are set. For skip, the behavior with refetchQueries sounds intentional since the refetching happens within the Mutation component. I don't think we pass information about whether the skip prop is set on the Query component to the refetchQueries array (https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo/blob/master/sr...).

- The `Query.variables` prop. The docs don't explain very well when exactly the network call will be reinvoked, especially if the graphql query has variables with default values (there's an open issue about this with little activity: https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo/issues/2715). - The `Query.skip` prop. I'd like to know all of the expected behavior for when this prop is used. For example, I've noticed that when skip is true then the render prop function's `data` object is always undefined, even though the data is there! Also when skip is true and you manually trigger a refetch elsewhere (for example when running a mutation with `refetchQueries` specified), the `onCompleted` prop doesn't get called, even though the query was in fact refetched and completed. Those are just recent things I've noticed. Also for the record I don'

I really like the Apollo stack, but if you're thinking of using it in production right now, you should wait a little! There's a massive bug where if your graphql outputs 1 small error, the whole component does not get loaded. Imagine a components that lists a bunch of items. If 19 returned correctly but 1 has an error, the "data" prop doesn't get passed, all you receive back is the error prop. It's pretty shitty for that. https://github.com/apollographql/react-apollo/issues/1112 Learned this the hard way :(

The major Apollo libraries depend on Graphql.js, which is affected by the patent grant. Apart from that GraphQL is the only one library with a known patent by Facebook, so you would actually want to get the patent grant there.
