Data Fetching for Single-Page Apps
Five patterns to help Single Page Applications fetch data from remote sources
Components in React can receive diverse data, known as props, to modify their behavior, much like passing arguments into a function (the distinction lies in using JSX syntax, making the code more familiar and readable to those with HTML knowledge, which aligns well with the skill set of most frontend developers). This pattern provides a versatile approach to handling asynchronous requests, giving developers the flexibility to trigger data fetching explicitly and manage the UI's response to loading, error, and success states effectively. Special thanks to Jason Sheehy for demonstrating the Code Splitting and related techniques in a recent project, Tom Gasson for collaborating on an experiment with the Prefetching and Fallback Markup pattern, and Dmitry Gonchar for inspiring the Async State Handler.
