It provides an intuitive API for handling remote data efficiently and offers features like caching, background synchronization, and error handling. 4 | 5 | --- 6 | 7 | ## Why Use React Query? 🌟 8 | 9 | 1. **Easy Data Fetching**: Simplifies fetching data with a single hook. 🎣 10 | 2. **Automatic Caching**: Saves fetched data to reduce load times and server requests. 💾 11 | 3. **Background Updates**: Keeps your app's data fresh without user intervention. 🔄 12 | 4. **Error Handling**: Smoothly manages errors and retries fetching if needed. 🛠️ 13 | 5. **Developer Tools**: Offers tools for debugging and optimizing your data fetching strategies. 🛠️ 14 | 15 | --- 16 | 17 | ## `useQuery`: The Core Hook for Fetching Data 🎯 18 | 19 | React Query provides the `useQuery` hook, which helps manage asynchronous data fetching seamlessly. This hook takes care of caching, background fetching, and data synchronization. 20 | 21 | ### Key Parameters: 22 | 23 | - **`queryKey` (required)**: A unique label for your query, used for caching and refetching. 24 | - **`queryFn` (required)**: The function responsible for fetching data (should be asynchronous). 25 | 26 | ### Example Usage of `useQuery`: 27 | 28 | import { useQuery } from 'react-query'; 29 | import axios from 'axios'; 30 | 31 | const fetchUsers = async () => { 32 | const { data } = await axios.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users'); 33 | return data; 34 | }; 35 | 36 | const UsersList = () => { 37 | const { data, error, isLoading } = useQuery(['users'], fetchUsers); 38 | 39 | if (isLoading) return

Loading...

; 40 | if (error) return

Error fetching data

; 41 | 42 | return ( 43 | 48 | ); 49 | }; 50 | 51 | export default UsersList; 52 | 53 | useMutation: Handling Data Mutations ✏️ 54 | 55 | For creating, updating, or deleting data, React Query provides the useMutation hook. Unlike useQuery, which is used for fetching data, useMutation is used for modifying server-side data. 56 | 57 | Example Usage of useMutation: 58 | 59 | import { useMutation, useQueryClient } from 'react-query'; 60 | import axios from 'axios'; 61 | 62 | const addUser = async (newUser) => { 63 | const { data } = await axios.post('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', newUser); 64 | return data; 65 | }; 66 | 67 | const AddUserForm = () => { 68 | const queryClient = useQueryClient(); 69 | const mutation = useMutation(addUser, { 70 | onSuccess: () => { 71 | queryClient.invalidateQueries(['users']); // Refresh user list after adding 72 | } 73 | }); 74 | 75 | const handleSubmit = (e) => { 76 | e.preventDefault(); 77 | const newUser = { name: e.target.name.value }; 78 | mutation.mutate(newUser); 79 | }; 80 | 81 | return ( 82 |
83 | 84 | 85 |
86 | ); 87 | }; 88 | 89 | export default AddUserForm; 90 | 91 | Conclusion 🎉 92 | 93 | React Query simplifies data fetching and state management in React applications. With built-in caching, background updates, and error handling, it significantly improves performance and user experience. Whether you're fetching, updating, or caching data, React Query is a must-have tool for modern web development! 94 | 95 | Further Reading 📚 96 | 97 | For a deeper dive into React Query, check out this comprehensive article on Medium: [React Query: The Ultimate Guide to Data Fetching in React.](https://medium.com/@designweb.azadeh/react-query-supercharge-your-react-app-with-react-query-962a38f1cd79) 98 | 99 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
