Convenient Data Fetching with Higher Order Components
summary
Claim: a small HOC-based data provider built on native fetch plus optional Redux wiring that requires zero backend changes and keeps presentation components oblivious. It deduplicates concurrent requests, exposes request state, and provides configurable caching, polling and SSR support with retry and placeholder handling. The library exists as open source, ships in production on a Slovak public-data site, and demonstrates that REST + a client-side provider can match many conveniences of GraphQL.
