Polling example

Demonstrating data polling using refetchInterval and refetchIntervalInBackground options in React Query.

1. refetchInterval: Sets the interval (in milliseconds) at which the query refetches data automatically.
2. refetchIntervalInBackground: Enables or disables polling when the window is not in focus.
3. Continuous Updates: Keeps data continuously updated by fetching at regular intervals.
4. Background Polling: Ensures data is updated even when the user is not actively viewing the application.
5. Resource Management: Balances data freshness with resource usage, especially for high-frequency polling.

When to use

1. Live Data: Ideal for applications requiring real-time data updates, such as chat applications or live scoreboards.
2. Monitoring Systems: Useful for dashboards that need to display the latest metrics or statuses.
3. User Engagement: Ensures users always see the most current information without manual refreshes.
