React suspense is a thing in react which will allow you to suspend sort of pause a component while that component is doing something like fetching data. So basically the basics are you have essentially your normal component, right? It's a Function it's a component and we're used to doing our way of using a a promise where you'd have a use effect That would fetch data from an API or load from a database or something like that. The idea is that you can suspend that component you give it a like ah suspend this for two seconds And if you don't have your data by then then then throw a loader in there and that will show your actual instead of nothing.

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about the new proposal for React, what the basics of it are, why it’s being proposed, and some benefits and issues it brings up.
