React Advanced

React Advanced Conference 2023

This Talk discusses using suspense and GraphQL with Apollo client to build great end user experiences. It explains the core concepts of React suspense and how to fetch data in suspense with Apollo client's new suspense hooks. The Talk also covers optimizing the loading experience by adding suspense boundaries, using the defer directive in GraphQL, and integrating suspense hooks with React 18 transitions. Future plans include new APIs like suspenseful use fragment and lazy use background query in Apollo client 3.9. Testing strategies for suspense in components and customizing loading states are also mentioned.

<p>For many app developers, GraphQL is instrumental in building great user experiences. With the introduction of React Suspense, developers have an ergonomic way to orchestrate loading states to improve upon the status quo. In this talk, the Apollo Client team will show you how we built a non-trivial application using Apollo Client’s new Suspense features, GraphQL features like the @defer directive, and how to combine them to build great user experiences in your own apps.</p>
