Hey, thanks for this article. I've heard about SWR, but haven't used it yet.
But from what I see, it's a simple hook to replace useState and useEffect. Meaning, I could go with
useState
useEffect
const [data, setData] = React.useState(); React.useEffect(() => { (async() => { const data = await fetch("..."); setData(data.json()); })() }, []);
And it would have similar effect, but it would work client-side only. Or am I missing something here?
Yes, it's client-side only, it does more things internally, like revalidate when the browser tab is focused again and more feature I'm planning to write more soon.
There is a way to do SSR too, it's something I plan to write about too.
Oh, so it is more to it than it looks, nice.
I'll be waiting on a follow-up article then, thanks! :)
