For Updating Existing Content

What updates should be made to the page?

Add a section to the style guide to use RTK Query or an alternative library.

Do these updates change any of the assumptions or target audience? If so, how do they change?

They add more emphasis that api cache logic should usually not be written by hand.

@markerikson generally I am very open to pretty much rewording anything in here, but we should probably get RTK-Q mentioned in the style guide.

I'd probably put this one in the later "Recommended" section, alongside "Use Thunks".

this seems to have been superceded by https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/pull/4460 - (https://redux.js.org/style-guide/#use-rtk-query-for-data-fetching)

okay to close?

[markerikson]

Yep!
