react-query
Discontinued 🤖 Powerful asynchronous state management, server-state utilities and data fetching for TS/JS, React, Solid, Svelte and Vue. [Moved to: https://github.com/TanStack/query]
I have considered swr instead of react-query, as it's smaller, but they lack some fundamentals that we need. Think clear state indicators or even a (solid) solution to manage mutations.
GraphQL Code Generator can generate fully typed React hooks if you tell it to, but I'm a fan of keeping things simple and thereby of their TypedDocumentNode approach. This variant is unaware of the GraphQL client that you're using. In other words, it's not tied to react-apollo (or alternative).
For the fetching part, we'll use graphql-request. It has almost as many installs/month as apollo, but it's way smaller and doesn't have as many open issues.
I'm not going with the famous @apollo/client because it's too much for our dashboard. Besides, we're migrating from REST to GraphQL, meaning we'll need to deal with both for some time. As React Query is sublime in cache management, and can be used for both REST and GraphQL, we'll be using that.
