Summary

In this chapter, we focused on networking with React. We started with promises, which make asynchronous network calls easier to implement. This is a cleaner way to handle calls, and it’s much better than using traditional callback functions.

In this book, we are using the Axios and React Query libraries for networking in our frontend. We went through the basics of using these libraries. We implemented two React example apps using the fetch API and Axios to call REST APIs, and we presented the response data in the browser. We learned about race conditions and looked at how to fetch data using the React Query library.

In the next chapter, we will look at some useful React components that we are going to use in our frontend.
