The Problem
Exploring data from large APIs requires thoughtful UX decisions:
- Efficient data fetching without overwhelming the UI
- Search functionality that feels responsive
- Pagination that handles 800+ records smoothly
This project demonstrates modern data-fetching patterns in React.
The Solution
A character explorer for the Rick and Morty universe featuring:
- Character search — Debounced input for responsive filtering
- Paginated browsing — Navigate 800+ characters smoothly
- Detailed profiles — Status, species, origin, and episode appearances
- Fast performance — Aggressive caching with TanStack Query
Technical Implementation
Core Stack
Built with React 19, TypeScript, and Vite.
Key Technologies
- TanStack Query — Server state management with intelligent caching
- React Router v7 — Client-side routing and navigation
- Axios — HTTP client for API communication
- Tailwind CSS 4 — Utility-first styling
Architecture
Clean separation of concerns:
- — Centralized API client and endpoints
- — Custom data-fetching hooks
- — Route-level components
- — Reusable UI elements
Debounced search prevents excessive API calls while maintaining responsiveness.
Outcome
This project demonstrates:
- Modern React data-fetching patterns
- API integration and state management
- Clean project architecture
- Performance optimization with caching
A focused example of building responsive, data-driven React applications.
