React Query+Supabase
Stack IntegrationReact Query + Supabase: Data Fetching Patterns
React Query manages server state in React applications — caching, background refetching, and optimistic updates — while Supabase provides the data layer. Together they eliminate boilerplate and make Supabase data feel instant.
Use Cases
- Cached Supabase queries with automatic background refresh in React
- Optimistic updates on Supabase mutations for instant UI feedback
- Paginated Supabase table queries with React Query's infinite scroll
- Query invalidation on Supabase Realtime events for live data sync
Implementation
Wrap Supabase client queries inside React Query's `useQuery` hook — the query key should include all filter parameters so cache invalidation is precise. For mutations, use `useMutation` with an `onSuccess` callback calling `queryClient.invalidateQueries`. For real-time + React Query, subscribe to Supabase Realtime channels and call `queryClient.setQueryData` on incoming events to update the cache without a refetch.
