Is it necessary to make a query on every frame tick or are there any optimization tricks to avoid it if nothing changed? about bitecs HOT 2 CLOSED

Is it necessary to call query on every frame tick if there are no changes since the last frame, and many other previous frames?

When you say changes, do you mean add/removeComponent changes? Or a direct data manipulation component.data[eid] = 3 type of change?

Assuming you meant add/removeComponent, then you don't have to worry. Queries are cached and incrementally updated when components are added/removed. Calling the query simply passes back an array, it doesn't do any filtering.

Wow, thanks! That's what I exactly meant! (add/removeComponent).
You're doing very useful work with BitECS. Thanks!
