Suspense

ELI5 — The Vibe Check

Suspense is React's way of saying 'hold on, something is loading, show this placeholder instead of crashing.' Wrap your async stuff in Suspense, give it a fallback, and React handles the loading state gracefully. No more isLoading && spinner everywhere.

Real Talk

Suspense is a React component that declaratively handles loading states for asynchronous operations. It catches promises thrown by child components during rendering and displays a fallback UI until the async operation completes, enabling coordinated loading states.
