You Might Not Need React Query#
This article discusses whether React Server Components will replace React Query, a library used for managing asynchronous state on the client. The author suggests that if data fetching is entirely done on the server, React Query may not be needed. However, for most applications transitioning to server components, React Query can still be integrated and used in a hybrid approach. The article recommends using React Query for use cases such as infinite scrolling lists, offline support, and automatic refetching. It emphasizes that React Query is not a "killer" and remains useful for many applications.
