React-meteor-data hooks and SSR best practice

help
1

I’ve just been reviewing react-meteor-data and had some questions that I haven’t had to ask before.

(because I used Vue, or I used TanStack Query, or I never touched the hooks API for Meteor before, etc)

Firstly, it looks like the suspense version of useSubscribe internally passes subscription parameters to useEffect’s dependency array, but the original non-suspense version doesn’t; is there some sort of performance or rendering implication there? Does it matter if a non-suspense useSubscribe is in a frequently re-rendered function?

Secondly, I got caught on this last line for the suspense version of useFetch:

This is a version of useFind that can be used with React Suspense […] third parameter is optional, and it is dependency array object. It’s meant for the SSR, you don’t have to use it if you’re not interested in SSR

:raised_hand: that’s me, I’m interested in SSR!

I just was a bit confused what was meant here. I personally like the non-suspense API for useFetch more, does this mean though for SSR I must use the suspense function? Likewise, if using SSR, I must pass all (stateful/prop-drilled) dependencies used in the query in this array at the end?

Thanks for any insights from the resident Meteor+React peeps!
