Get to know React Query and see how it fits beautifully into React to create a true paradigm shift that makes consumption of async APIs a breeze.

Consumption of asynchronous data sources has been an issue in frontend development for years. 

We've all been there - loading states, errors, tons of boilerplate code. Through the years, there have been many attempts to tackle the issues. Finally, with the arrival React Query, combined with new React features such as Hooks and Suspense, is it possible that we have finally reached the "asynchronicity nirvana"? 

In this talk, we will get to know React Query, explore the reason behind all the hype waves it created recently as well as see how it fits beautifully into React to create a true paradigm shift that makes consumption of async APIs a breeze.

You Gotta Love Frontend

Road to Async Nirvana

All our software is a bundle of decisions. But despite the fact that some decisions can have a long-lasting, crippling effect on our app, we make most of them based on guesses.

But what if the best decision is indecision? What if you could postpone most of your decision until you gather enough facts in order to make the optimal one?

In this talk, we will learn why deferring decisions can result in a much better, simpler code base. We’ll see examples of decisions we think we have to take on day 1 of the project, yet, can (and should) be postponed and see how practices like Spikes and the right design of your application will allow that to happen.
