Overview of this book

Reading, navigating, and debugging a large frontend codebase is a major issue faced by frontend developers. This book is designed to help web developers like you learn about ReactJS and TypeScript, both of which power large-scale apps for many organizations. This second edition of Learn React with TypeScript is updated, enhanced, and improved to cover new features of React 18 including hooks, state management libraries, and features of TypeScript 4. The book will enable you to create well-structured and reusable React components that are easy to read and maintain, leveraging modern design patterns. You’ll be able to ensure that all your components are type-safe, making the most of TypeScript features, including some advanced types. You’ll also learn how to manage complex states using Redux and how to interact with a GraphQL web API. Finally, you’ll discover how to write robust unit tests for React components using Jest. By the end of the book, you’ll be well-equipped to use both React and TypeScript.

Using React Router with React Query

So far, we have experienced the benefits of both React Router and React Query data fetching. React Router reduces the number of re-renders, while React Query provides a client-side cache of the data. In this section, we will use these libraries together in our app so that it has both these benefits.

Carry out the following steps:

  1. Start by opening App.tsx and change the loader function on the route definition to the following:
    const router = createBrowserRouter([
      {
        path: '/',
        element: ...,
        loader: async () => {
          const existingData = queryClient.getQueryData([
            'postsData',
          ]);
          if (existingData) {
            return defer({ posts: existingData });
      ...
