Features
The idea of this sample is simple. Quite often in our solutions we need to use data from one endpoint in multiple places. I think the most common scenario might be displaying current user info.
One of the most popular libraries to handle http requests in React is react-query. This library simplifies http calls by providing easy to use react hook.
You can see, that although we are rendering user four times, there is only one batched request to MS Graph API. Note, I implemented three different user components to test nesting case as well as using the same hook in different component.
Additional benefit of such approach is better isolation from SPFx itself. Not only it would be easier to move this solution from SPFx to simple React project (should You need to expose similar functionality outside of SharePoint context), but it improved testability of the solution. I added two tests to the solution: User.test.tsx - which mocks whole context and UserMockHook which benefits from the fact, that we can mock only useUserQuery hook.
