    Our take

    Understanding React Query.

    React Query (TanStack Query) manages server data fetching, caching and synchronization in React, eliminating Redux for async data.

    Practical uses

    • API data fetching in a React app
    • Paginated lists and infinite scroll
    • Real-time data synchronization

    Pros and cons

    What React Query does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.

    Pros

    • Automatic server data caching
    • Intelligent refetching (focus, network, interval)
    • Built-in pagination and infinite scroll
    • DevTools included

    Cons

    • Learning curve on caching concepts
    • Overkill for very simple apps
    • Can mask API design problems

    React Query: when it makes sense.

    Standard pour toute app React avec données serveur — à intégrer dès le début du projet.

    Keep if

    Tu fais des appels API dans une app React. Tu as besoin de cache, pagination ou refetch automatique

    Challenge if

    Ton app est très simple avec peu de données serveur. Tu utilises GraphQL avec Apollo (qui intègre son propre cache)
