React 18: Conditional Rendering with Suspense and useTransition Causes Flickering UI in Complex Layouts
I've been banging my head against this for hours... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I'm currently working on a React 18 application that utilizes the new `Suspense` and `useTransition` features to improve the user experience during data fetching. However, I've encountered an scenario where the UI flickers when rendering components conditionally based on the state of a resource that is being loaded.\n\nHere's a simplified version of my code: ```javascript import React, { useState, useTransition, Suspense } from 'react'; const fetchData = () => new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(() => resolve('Data loaded'), 1000)); const DataComponent = React.lazy(() => fetchData()); const App = () => { const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition(); const [showData, setShowData] = useState(false); const handleClick = () => { startTransition(() => { setShowData(prev => !prev); }); };\n\n return ( <div> <button onClick={handleClick}>Toggle Data</button> {isPending ? <p>Loading...</p> : null} <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading Data...</div>}> {showData && <DataComponent />} </Suspense> </div> ); }; export default App; ``` The question arises when I toggle the button to show or hide the `DataComponent`. Sometimes, it causes the entire UI to flicker or flash, especially if I rapidly click the button. I've tried adjusting the `Suspense` fallback, but that hasn't resolved the scenario. I also verified that there are no console errors or warnings. \n\nHas anyone else experienced this flickering behavior with `useTransition` and `Suspense`? What are some best practices to avoid such UI issues when conditionally rendering components? Am I missing something in my implementation? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. I'm developing on Windows 11 with Javascript. I'm open to any suggestions.
