data-fetching

The best way to structure data fetching with Zustand and SWR is to implement a service layer for API calls, wire it to store slices via SWR hooks, and call these hooks in your UI to ensure consistent caching and separation of concerns.

To migrate data fetching from useEffect to SWR and Zustand, replace manual effect-based fetching with store-based data hooks, configure a service method, and wire it to a store slice via SWR to handle caching and revalidation automatically.

You handle optimistic updates and cache invalidation by applying mutations through the service layer, updating the Zustand store optimistically, and triggering SWR revalidation to sync the cache with the latest API state safely.

Yes, you can use this data fetching pattern for list and detail views across web components. It implements a clean interface with list/detail patterns, clear mutation flows, and typed params to support scalable extension and safe error handling.

You need a service layer for API calls alongside SWR to standardize data loading and enforce separation of concerns. This prevents inconsistent fetching logic across UI components by centralizing endpoints before they reach the cache.

Using Zustand stores for data fetching requires careful mutation flow management. Without integrating SWR for caching, you may face manual cache invalidation complexities and lose built-in revalidation benefits when scaling API calls.
