## What it is
fate is a modern, type-safe data client for React (with a Vue client also available) inspired by Relay and GraphQL. It combines co-located view composition, a normalized cache, data masking, optimistic updates, and Async React features like Suspense and Actions into a single data-fetching layer.

## Use cases
- fetch data in react with suspense
- co-locate data requirements with react components
- avoid request waterfalls by composing data into one request
- normalized client-side cache for react app data
- optimistic updates with automatic rollback on failure
- cursor-based pagination and infinite scrolling in react
- type-safe data fetching without graphql dsl
- live updating views via server-sent events

## When to choose
- You are building a React 19+ app and want Relay-style co-located data views without adopting GraphQL or a compiler/DSL
- You need a normalized cache with data masking to prevent overfetching and component coupling
- You want built-in optimistic updates, pagination, and Suspense-based async rendering
- You use tRPC, Drizzle, Prisma, or a custom fate server and want type-safe end-to-end data fetching

## When to avoid
- You need a battle-tested, production-ready library today - fate is explicitly in alpha and not production ready
- You are not using React 19.2+ (or Vue) and modern Async React features
- You prefer a minimal fetch wrapper or an established solution like React Query, SWR, or Apollo
- Your project cannot adopt the fate server, Vite plugin, or one of its supported transports
