useFetch()

Fetch without the data rendering.

This can be useful for ensuring resources early in a render tree before they are needed.

tip

Use in combination with a data-binding hook (useCache(), useSuspense(), useDLE(), useLive()) in another component.

Usage

function MasterPost({ id }: { id: number }) {
useFetch(PostResource.get, { id });
// ...
}

Behavior

note
  1. Identical fetches are automatically deduplicated
React Native

When using React Navigation, useFetch() will trigger fetches on focus if the data is considered stale.

Conditional Dependencies

Use null as the second argument on any rest hooks to indicate "do nothing."

// todo could be undefined if id is undefined
const todo = useFetch(TodoResource.get, id ? { id } : null);

Types

function useFetch(
endpoint: ReadEndpoint,
...args: Parameters<typeof endpoint> | [null]
): Promise<any> | undefined;
