Mastering Optimistic Updates in React with the useOptimistic Hook
In this video, we dive into performing optimistic updates using the useOptimistic hook in React. Learn how this hook can significantly enhance user experience by updating the UI instantly while asynchronous actions, such as deletions, are processed in the background. We'll walk through an example where, upon clicking a delete button, a product is immediately removed from the list, providing a seamless and responsive feel. The video covers everything from setting up the hook, managing state, and handling data mutations, to structuring your React components for optimal performance.
