SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the user experience issue of waiting for server responses after form submissions or data mutations, by providing immediate visual feedback and a smoother perceived performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Immediate Feedback: Display changes instantly as if they were already processed by the server.
  • Seamless Data Integration: Combine server-fetched data with pending submission data for a unified view.
  • Automatic Rollback: Gracefully handle errors by reverting the UI to its previous state when a submission fails.
  • Use Case: When a user adds a new item to a list, the item appears in the list immediately with a "(pending)" indicator, rather than the user having to wait for the page to refresh or re-fetch data.

Quick Start

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement optimistic UI for data mutations in SolidStart?

To implement optimistic UI in SolidStart, combine server-fetched data with pending submission inputs using the `useSubmissions` hook from `@solidjs/router`, filtering for pending states to display immediate visual feedback during data mutations.

What is optimistic UI and when do I need it for SolidJS applications?

Optimistic UI is a pattern providing instant UI feedback after data mutations by displaying changes before the server responds. You need it in SolidJS applications to improve perceived performance and avoid waiting for page refreshes after form submissions.

Does the SolidStart optimistic UI pattern support handling FormData and multiple arguments?

Yes, the SolidStart optimistic UI pattern supports actions with single arguments, multiple arguments, and FormData, allowing flexible integration with various form submission types and data mutation structures within your application.

How does SolidStart handle rollbacks when an optimistic UI submission fails?

SolidStart handles rollbacks by automatically reverting the UI to its previous state when a submission fails, filtering out the pending submission data and gracefully handling errors to maintain data consistency.

Can I display pending items immediately in a list using SolidJS router submissions?

Yes, you can display pending items immediately by combining server data with submission inputs from the `useSubmissions` hook, showing new items with a pending indicator rather than waiting for a page re-fetch.

What are the limitations of using useSubmissions for optimistic UI in SolidStart?

Limitations include relying entirely on the `useSubmissions` hook from `@solidjs/router` for state tracking, meaning complex custom mutation states outside of router actions may not integrate seamlessly with this optimistic UI filtering approach.
