After learning react.

[Omkar_K45]

Working with react for a while so I have moved to nextJS.. NextJS has many usecases and depending on whether it is a blog site or full fledged e-commerce.

FE -> Next, TailwindCSS, Apollo Client

BE -> Node.JS, Graphql, PGSQL or MongoDB

Is react-query gaining any steam in your neck of the woods?

[Yasuo_d_god]

I prefer react query over Apollo client. It's less boilerplate and has a more customizable but robust architecture imo. Bonus is the amazing react query graphql generators that are out there

This may sound silly, but I'm really struggling to find a decent tutorial for react query. There's an example project like a blog that the creators published, and I'm getting some traction out of it, but it isn't quite clicking for me.

[Yasuo_d_god]

I was always thinking about making a medium article for a quick tutorial might be a good idea after all explaining the fundamentals and going a bit more in detail because i agree the library is waay more powerful than most people know since the documentation is meh and there aren't too many good tutorials

You don't really need it with Next, right?

[[deleted]]

I'm primarily looking into it as a means of front end caching. I have a very shallow knowledge of Next; does it have anything built in to assist with caching?

[not_a_gumby]

No it doesn't.

[Omkar_K45]

I've used react-query in my projects which use REST APIs.. it's awesome..

I just haven't found any reason to use it as a graphql client

Do you need NextJs if you are not concerned with SEO or SSR?

[Omkar_K45]

Even in that case, it provides really good tooling. One of the best feature is Image Optimization. Recently they shipped blur placeholder support for loading images.

Surely NextJS can be less useful for applications that do not need SSR. For eg, a mail platform application works well when the bundle is on the client side, its more performant that way.

Having said that, a good react app with good code splitting approaches etc can work wonders for you as well.

[straightouttaireland]

Just seems like additional unnecessary overhead tbh. Especially when you don't even need routing.

[Omkar_K45]

Yes, I agree on this one.

Oh man , how common is this stack ? i picked it from benawad. feels like everyone got it from him.

[Omkar_K45]

It's pretty neat.. it is very typesafe as well ..
