React Query - refetch on window focus but not otherwise?

After having this question answered: React Query - query is not using cache?

I had another question - what if i want to refetch the data on window focus, but not otherwise?

If i change the staleTime to Infinity like suggested in the question above, React Query would never refetch on window focus.

Isn't it possible to never refetch, unless there's a window focus?

staleTime: Infinity,
refetchOnWindowFocus: 'always'

refetchOnWindowFocus defaults to true, which will only refetch stale queries. Set it to always to, well, always refetch.

It's in the api reference for useQuery.
