Pagination and infinite scroll with React Query v3
Blog post from LogRocket
Front-end developers can enhance user experience and application performance when handling large datasets by implementing UI patterns like pagination and infinite scroll, which allow for efficient data rendering and navigation. This tutorial demonstrates how to implement these patterns using React Query, with the Random User API serving as the data source, which efficiently fetches and renders small chunks of data. It provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a React project with React Query, implementing pagination with the useQuery hook, which manages asynchronous data fetching and caching, and infinite scroll with the useInfiniteQuery hook, which loads more data onto the existing dataset. The tutorial also outlines how to manage server state effortlessly in React applications using React Query's features like caching, deduplication of multiple requests, and performance optimizations through pagination and lazy loading. Additionally, it emphasizes React Query's role as a comprehensive solution for handling the request-response cycle in modern web applications, making it a valuable tool for developers to optimize digital user experiences.
