Fetch paginated data in React using the useInfiniteQuery hook from TanStack Query. This hook manages infinite scrolling patterns by automatically caching loaded pages and handling subsequent data fetching requests as users scroll.

Set up TanStack Query in a React dashboard by installing the library, creating a QueryClient, and wrapping your app with QueryClientProvider. You then use hooks like useQuery and useMutation to fetch data and keep UI state synchronized across components.
