This project is no longer maintained. It was a long journey to explore the possibilities for data fetching with hooks and suspense, but with React 19, the official way to do data fetching with suspense is to use server components. If you need a client-side solution, check out [Jotai](https://github.com/pmndrs/jotai), which provides similar capabilities to this library in its latest state.

Minimal data fetching library with React Suspense

## Introduction

This library provides a React hook `useFetch` for any async functions.
It utilizes React Suspense and `FetchProvider` is required with initial inputs.
The initial inputs are used to run all async function in the initial render.

Project status: Experimental. We need to collect feedbacks.

Design choices:

* No string keys
* Force prefetching
* Cache size one
* React context based

## Install

```bash
npm install react-hooks-fetch
```

## Usage

```javascript
import React, { Suspense } from 'react';
import { ErrorBoundary } from 'react-error-boundary';

import { FetchProvider, useFetch } from 'react-hooks-fetch';

// 1️⃣
// Create a fetch function.
// The function can take one input argument.
const fetchFunc = async (userId) => {
const res = await fetch(`https://reqres.in/api/users/${userId}?delay=3`);
const data = await res.json();
return data;
};

// 2️⃣
// Define a component to use the fetch function.
// The `refetch` function take a new input argument,
// and it will start fetching before rendering.
const Main = () => {
const { result, refetch } = useFetch(fetchFunc);
const handleClick = () => {
refetch('2');
};
return (


First Name: {result.data.first_name}

Fetch user 2

);
};

// 3️⃣
// FetchProvider is required with initialInputs.
// We should put ErrorBoundary and Suspense inside FetchProvider.
const App = () => (

Error}>
Loading...}>




);
```

## API

### FetchProvider

FetchProvider component

Put this component higher in the component tree.

#### Parameters

* `$0` **FetchProviderProps**

* `$0.initialInputs`
* `$0.children`

#### Examples

```javascript
import { FetchProvider } from 'react-hooks-fetch';

const App = () => (

...

);
```

### useRefetch

useRefetch hook

This returns only `refetch` part of what `useFetch` returns.

#### Parameters

* `fn` **FetchFunc\**

#### Examples

```javascript
import { useFetch } from 'react-hooks-fetch';

const refetch = useRefetch(desc);
refetch('1');
```

### useFetch

useFetch hook

This is the main hook to be used.

#### Parameters

* `fn` **FetchFunc\**
* `options` **{allowUndefined: [boolean](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Boolean)}?**

#### Examples

```javascript
import { useFetch } from 'react-hooks-fetch';

const { input, result, refetch } = useFetch(desc);
```
