React Suspense: Manage Loading States Declaratively
React Suspense lets you declare a loading UI instead of manually toggling `isLoading` state. You wrap a component that fetches data and provide a fallback, letting React handle the switch. The footgun is that re-fetching can jarringly show the fallback again.
React Suspense lets you declaratively manage loading states instead of manually tracking `isLoading` booleans. You wrap a component that fetches data and provide a fallback, letting React handle the switch. This decouples the parent from the child's loading logic. The main footgun is that if a visible component re-suspends (like on a re-fetch), it will jarringly revert to the fallback unless you use a transition.
