💡 This Skill requires @tanstack/react-query, @tanstack/react-query-devtools, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the management of server state in React applications, simplifying data fetching, caching, and state synchronization between the client and server.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Declarative Data Fetching: Define data fetching logic with hooks like useQuery and useInfiniteQuery.
  • Caching & Background Updates: Automatically caches data and refetches in the background to keep UI fresh.
  • Mutations & Optimistic Updates: Handles data modifications (POST, PUT, DELETE) with instant UI feedback.
  • Use Case: When building a dashboard that displays user lists, profiles, and posts, this Skill ensures data is fetched efficiently, cached appropriately, and updates seamlessly when new data is added or modified.

Quick Start

Set up the QueryClient and wrap your application with the QueryClientProvider.
