It streamlines the API by passing a single object as an argument, making it easier for new users to understand. The API also allows for sharing query options between different functions, improving code reusability. TypeScript's handling of excess properties is addressed with the queryOptions helper function, which adds type safety to the API. Overall, the Query Options API provides a better abstraction and enhances the developer experience. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
