React Query Everything in React 2025

🔍 React Query Everything in React 2025

React Query (now known as TanStack Query) is a powerful tool for data fetching, caching, synchronizing, and updating in React apps. Here's everything you need to get started with React Query in 2025.

1. Install React Query

npm install @tanstack/react-query

2. Setup QueryClient & Provider

import { QueryClient, QueryClientProvider } from '@tanstack/react-query';

const queryClient = new QueryClient();

function App() {
  return (
    
      
    
  );
}

3. Fetch API Data with useQuery

import { useQuery } from '@tanstack/react-query';

function MyComponent() {
  const { data, error, isLoading } = useQuery({
    queryKey: ['posts'],
    queryFn: () => fetch('/api/posts').then(res => res.json())
  });

  if (isLoading) return 
Loading...
; if (error) return
Error fetching data
; return (
    {data.map(post => (
  • {post.title}
  • ))}
); }

4. Handle Errors and Loading State

// Handled automatically by useQuery
// You can show spinner or error UI based on isLoading and error

5. Enable Devtools for Debugging

import { ReactQueryDevtools } from '@tanstack/react-query-devtools';

function App() {
  return (
    
      
      
    
  );
}

6. Use useMutation for CRUD Operations

import { useMutation } from '@tanstack/react-query';

const mutation = useMutation({
  mutationFn: (newPost) => fetch('/api/posts', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify(newPost),
  })
});

7. Pagination, Polling, and Infinite Scroll

// Pagination via `keepPreviousData`
// Polling with `refetchInterval`
// Infinite Scroll via `useInfiniteQuery` and Intersection Observer

8. Optimize with Stale Time and Garbage Collection

useQuery({
  queryKey: ['data'],
  queryFn: fetchData,
  staleTime: 1000 * 60, // 1 min
  gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 5, // 5 min
});

9. Host React Query App on Server

// Build and deploy your app to Vercel, Netlify, or your server
npm run build

📘 That's the complete overview of React Query (TanStack Query) in 2025. Use it to make your API integration smooth, fast, and clean.
