I was exploring how to load API data page-by-page without the UI blinking or resetting and React Query’s 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔𝑫𝒂𝒕𝒂 feature completely changed the game for me. 🔥 What I Built - Dynamic Pagination using useState - Data Fetching with useQuery - Personalized API calls using pageNumber - Smooth transitions using keepPreviousData - Clean, minimal UI for posts + pagination buttons - Proper error & loading handling What I Learned 🔹 React Query refetches only when queryKey changes → ["posts", pageNumber] 🔹 queryFn should always be a function → () => FetchPosts(pageNumber) 🔹 API must receive the correct page number to return limited results 🔹 keepPreviousData helps avoid UI jumps and blank screens 🔹 Good CSS structure matters — it prevents overlapping and maintains layout 🎯 Outcome A smooth, modern, user-friendly pagination UI where: ✨ No flickering ✨ No layout shifting ✨ Old data stays visible while new data loads ✨ Perfect experience for users 🛠️ 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌 : React.js, React Query, Axios, JSONPlaceholder API, Custom CSS I’m really enjoying diving deeper into React Query — the amount of control it gives over data fetching is incredible! Excited to keep building and learning more every day! #react #reactjs #reactquery #webdevelopment #frontenddeveloper #learningjourney #javascript
