This post covers how we can use React Query with TypeScript to fetch data. We’ll also cover some of the benefits React Query brings.
React Query is a fantastic library that helps us manage data involved in web service requests.
It doesn’t make the actual request - we still use fetch or a library like axios to do this.
React Query will call our code that makes the request at the appropriate time in the component lifecycle. It also puts the data from the request in state and provides other useful state variables for the fetching process.
On top of this, React Query provides a ton of features such as caching and retries, but the thing I love about React Query is that it cleans up our code.
