Overview

A transition marks an update as interruptible, so typing stays smooth while an expensive list re-filters behind it.

In this lesson you will:

  • Separate an urgent update from a non-urgent one
  • Show pending state without blocking input
  • Recognise the interactions worth marking

Pro Tip

Use caching and revalidation wisely to ensure your app stays fast and data remains fresh without unnecessary requests.
