Mastering Redux Toolkit Query | Tutorial for Beginners

Syncing your UI with a backend is where most apps get messy. Fetching, caching, invalidating, refetching: doing all of that by hand is endless boilerplate. RTK Query handles it for you, and I show you exactly how in the video, using a real to-do app backed by an Express server.
The same setup works in React Native, Vite, and Next.js, so you learn it once and use it everywhere.
What's inside
- Queries for fetching and mutations for creating and updating to-dos
- Auto-generated hooks like with loading and error states built in
- Keeping a list, details, and edit screen in sync without passing props
- A simple Express.js backend so you see the full server-to-client flow
- Caching that updates every component automatically after a mutation
- Integration with Expo Router's file-based routing
