Technical post: Autosave with React Hooks A common pattern found in many web apps is to automatically save after every user action. For instance, Google Docs saves changes after the user edits the document. Albeit a common pattern, there are different ways of implementing it, and each has its pros and cons. Here, we discuss a solution which encapsulates the autosave feature in a reusable React component, recently implemented in our software platform, Antha. This component allows autosave to be triggered on (debounced) user?s actions. By autosave we mean saving the changes to the database by firing off an async GraphQL mutation.
