In this article, we explore React Query, a data management library for React applications. We compare it to other libraries like Apollo and Urql, highlighting its unique features such as being tailor-made for React, focusing on server state, and offering an opinionated-first approach. We also discuss the basic concepts of React Query, including its client wrapper, hooks, refetch defaults, initial data for hydration, dependent queries, and familiar data methods. Lastly, we demonstrate how to connect React Query with Hasura using a simple example.
