Overview of this book

React helps you work smarter, not harder — but to reap the benefits of this popular JavaScript library and its components, you need a straightforward guide that will teach you how to make the most of it. React 18 Design Patterns and Best Practices will help you use React effectively to make your applications more flexible, easier to maintain, and improve their performance, while giving your workflow a huge boost. With a better organization of topics and knowledge about best practices added to your developer toolbox, the updated fourth edition ensures an enhanced learning experience. The book is split into three parts; the first will teach you the fundamentals of React patterns, the second will dive into how React works, and the third will focus on real-world applications. All the code samples are updated to the latest version of React and you’ll also find plenty of new additions that explore React 18 and Node 19’s newest features, alongside MonoRepo Architecture and a dedicated chapter on TypeScript. By the end of this book, you'll be able to efficiently build and deploy real-world React web applications.

Managing Data

In this chapter, we will explore two beneficial tools: the React Context API and React Suspense. The Context API simplifies the process of sharing data across our entire application without the need to pass it down through multiple layers. On the other hand, React Suspense enables specific parts of our app to wait for certain actions before being displayed, resulting in a smoother loading experience.

By utilizing these tools collectively, we can enhance data management and improve the overall performance of our app. Join us on this journey as we delve into the efficient handling of data in React.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • The React Context API
  • How to consume a context with useContext
  • How to use React Suspense with SWR (Stale-While-Revalidate)
  • How to use Redux Toolkit
