React Async is a promise-based React library for declarative data fetching and asynchronous state handling, offering a component, helper components, and useAsync/useFetch hooks. It works with fetch, Axios, GraphQL, or any promise-returning function, with optional DevTools and experimental Suspense support.

Use cases

• handle loading, error, and data states for fetch requests in React
• resolve promises declaratively in React components
• fetch API data with a React hook
• replace Redux-style global data fetching with component-level loading
• debug async UI states in React apps
• server-side rendering with async data

When to choose

• you want declarative, component-level promise resolution without a global store
• you use fetch, Axios, or GraphQL and need consistent async state handling
• you prefer hooks or render props over heavyweight data-fetching frameworks
• you need on-demand, parallel data loading decoupled from routing

When to avoid

• you already use React Query/SWR or a framework with built-in data fetching
• you need global cache, deduplication, or advanced cache invalidation features
• you need ES5 output without configuring your own transpilation
• you want a library under very active development
