FAQPage Schema
How do I manage server state and caching in React without manual synchronization?

Server state in React can be managed efficiently using TanStack Query, which handles data fetching, caching, and background refetching automatically. This eliminates manual synchronization logic and manages loading or error states seamlessly.

What is the best way to implement optimistic updates with React Query v5?

Optimistic updates in React Query v5 are implemented using the useMutation hook to immediately update the UI before the server confirms the change. This pattern ensures a seamless user experience during data modifications.

How do I set up a query key strategy for caching in TanStack Query?

A query key strategy in TanStack Query involves structuring arrays to uniquely identify cached server state data. Proper query keys enable precise cache invalidation, background refetching, and efficient state management across your React application.

Does TanStack Query work with UI libraries like Mantine?

Yes, TanStack Query integrates effectively with UI libraries like Mantine. It manages the server state, data fetching, and loading conditions, while Mantine components render the interface based on those query states.

How do I handle pagination and prefetching when fetching data in React?

Pagination and prefetching in React are handled using TanStack Query's useQuery hook to fetch data incrementally and load the next page in the background. This approach ensures fast data loading and a smooth user experience.
