Nice article, thanks!

But the way, if you are looking for React UI libraries I would strongly recommend MDBootstrap React, which integrates the latest Bootstrap 5 & React 17 ;)

I love the article! 🤩
I would recommend React Query for data fetching. It makes handling server state sooooo easy and fun. It does so much for you.

Thanks 🎊

That looks super promising.
Is it like axios or?

No, it's not.

React-Query provides hooks for data fetching. You can use it with your preferred data-fetching library (e.g., fetch, axios, graphql-request, etc.). It is technology agnostic and works with any fetching library. You can wrap react-query around your API request functions.

I came here expecting the article was about little bits of in depth difference, and some bits of learning curve. But no, this was some blog post about personal achievement.

Hey. I'm sorry you feel that way and understand your sentiments. I usually try and write in depth articles as you can see from all my previous posts.

So let me first fully adjust to the library before I can make well informed comparisons.

That being said I don't think there's anything wrong in documenting the learning journey. And if this will help someone out there get the courage to try something new with a bit of structure then that's fine by me.
Take things easy and don't be so quick to judge :)
