## Use SWR for Automatic Deduplication

SWR enables request deduplication, caching, and revalidation across component instances.

**Incorrect (no deduplication, each instance fetches):**

```tsx
function UserList() {
  const [users, setUsers] = useState([]);
  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/api/users')
      .then((r) => r.json())
      .then(setUsers);
  }, []);
}
```

**Correct (multiple instances share one request):**

```tsx
import useSWR from 'swr';

function UserList() {
  const { data: users } = useSWR('/api/users', fetcher);
}
```

**For immutable data:**

```tsx
import { useImmutableSWR } from '@/lib/swr';

function StaticContent() {
  const { data } = useImmutableSWR('/api/config', fetcher);
}
```

**For mutations:**

```tsx
import { useSWRMutation } from 'swr/mutation';

function UpdateButton() {
  const { trigger } = useSWRMutation('/api/user', updateUser);
  return <button onClick={() => trigger()}>Update</button>;
}
```
