To manage server state in React, you configure a QueryClient and wrap your application with its provider. This enables built-in caching, background updates, and optimistic UI to keep client data synchronized with the server automatically.

Data fetching and mutations in React are handled using dedicated hooks. Mutations include automatic cache invalidation, while data fetching hooks retrieve server data and maintain responsive UI during background updates.

Setting up for data-heavy dashboards involves creating a QueryClient and integrating the provider with devtools. It supports frequent updates, organized query keys, prefetching, and infinite queries for large lists.

Yes, optimistic updates are supported with React Query mutations. This immediately reflects expected changes in the UI while the form submits data, keeping the interface responsive before the server confirms the update.

Yes, TanStack Query supports infinite and paginated queries. It manages server state by organizing query keys and handling background updates, ensuring data-heavy lists remain synchronized and responsive.

Server state hydration and prefetching are needed when loading data-heavy dashboards. Prefetching fetches data before it is required, while SSR hydration support helps render initial server state efficiently where applicable.
