Final Words
Here we'll learn how to prefetch data based on the route
Congratulations for getting to the end of this course 🎉🎉🎉
The purpose of this lesson is to revisit the core concepts covered throughout the educational journey, solidifying knowledge and understanding of effectively fetching data. This course primarily focused on React, however, the techniques and practices learned can be applied universally to other frameworks and even in native JavaScript.
Let's take a look at some of the key topics covered in this course:
1. Pre-fetching Data#
The concept of fetching data before a component loads, a technique commonly referred to as pre-fetching, was explored. This technique is instrumental in improving the user experience by significantly reducing the waiting time for data loading.
2. Creating an Efficient Data Cache#
The creation of an efficient data cache using a map was also explored. This technique aims to store data for future use to minimize the number of calls to an API or database, thus enhancing the application's performance and responsiveness.
3. Handling Loading and Error States#

[00:00 - 01:37] Congratulations on getting to the end of this course, and thank you for choosing to invest in yourself and level up your skills by learning with me. We've learned so much about fetching data and react, and also fetching data in JavaScript as well. Although this course focuses on react, all the techniques that we've learned and gone through can be applied to other frameworks and even native JavaScript. We've learned how to fetch data before a component loads, also known as pre-veging, how to create inefficient data cache using a map, how to handle loading and error states, how to fetch data on an event like click or scroll, how to fix the issue with race conditions and also network waterfalls. We've also learned how to pre-vech data based on the URL and also how to implement the stale while we validate caching technique. And that's not even all. We've gone through so much in this course that I don't have time to go through every single thing in this video. If you've watched every single video in this course, you should have a pretty good understanding of how to fetch data performantly and react and should have some code to start you off that will help you build a strong data fetching library. I hope you've enjoyed this course as much as I've enjoyed making it. And if you get stuck or have any questions that haven't been answered, please feel free to reach out to me on Twitter, on Instagram and even on TikTok. I'm always happy to read your messages. You could even join the new line Discord server where you can ask questions to other students or even just showcase what you've built.
[01:38 - 01:45] I'm really looking forward to see what you can do or where you can take this code. Happy coding and until then, it's a goodbye from me.
