A React Query service layer centralizes API GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations using a shared requester, enabling consistent data fetching and mutations across your app. This pattern standardizes query keys and cache invalidation for reliable state synchronization.

Cache invalidation in React Query is handled by using standardized query keys within mutations. When you create, update, or delete data, the associated query keys are invalidated, automatically refreshing list and detail views to sync with server state.

Using React Query hooks like useUser or useTransactions handles loading and error states automatically. These hooks manage fetching logic and intelligent caching, providing robust error handling and revalidation out of the box for your UI components.

Yes, a shared base API requester is required to use these React Query hooks. The service layer relies on this consistent requester to execute HTTP operations and manage standardized query keys for your entities.

You can refresh a user list by using React Query mutations that trigger cache invalidation. After creating or deleting a user, the mutation invalidates the user list query key, automatically refetching the data to provide a real-time-like UX.
