+## `queryCache.fetchQuery`
+
+`fetchQuery` is an asynchronous method that can be used to fetch and cache a query. It will either resolve with the data or throw with the error. Specify a `staleTime` to only trigger a fetch when the data is stale. Use the `prefetchQuery` method if you just want to fetch a query without needing the result.
