Recipes
Short tutorials, each about one problem. Each recipe takes a real UI pattern (loading states, infinite scroll, optimistic updates) and shows how to build it against the GoRest API. Working code you can copy into your project.
Test loading skeletons with simulated latency
Use ?delay=N to make GoRest take seconds to respond, so you can verify your skeleton screens render without flicker.
Read recipeTest 401, 422, 429 and 500 handlers
Force any status code with ?force_status= to make sure your error UI never shows blank screens or eats stack traces.

Read recipeBuild infinite scroll with IntersectionObserver
Append pages as the sentinel element scrolls into view. Works with any list endpoint that returns pagination headers.
Read recipeAdd optimistic updates without races
Render the new state before the server confirms; roll back on failure. Pattern works for create / update / delete.
