title: Background Fetching Indicators
---
A query's `status === 'pending'` state is sufficient enough to show the initial hard-loading state for a query, but sometimes you may want to display an additional indicator that a query is refetching in the background. To do this, queries also supply you with an `isFetching` boolean that you can use to show that it's in a fetching state, regardless of the state of the `status` variable:
[//]: # 'Example'
```tsx
function Todos() {
const {
status,
data: todos,
error,
isFetching,
} = useQuery({
queryKey: ['todos'],
queryFn: fetchTodos,
})
return status === 'pending' ? (
<span>Loading...</span>
) : status === 'error' ? (
<span>Error: {error.message}</span>
) : (
<>
{isFetching ? <div>Refreshing...</div> : null}
<div>
{todos.map((todo) => (
<Todo todo={todo} />
))}
</div>
</>
)
}
```
[//]: # 'Example'
## Displaying Global Background Fetching Loading State
In addition to individual query loading states, if you would like to show a global loading indicator when **any** queries are fetching (including in the background), you can use the `useIsFetching` hook:
[//]: # 'Example2'
```tsx
import { useIsFetching } from '@tanstack/react-query'
function GlobalLoadingIndicator() {
const isFetching = useIsFetching()
return isFetching ? (
<div>Queries are fetching in the background...</div>
) : null
}
```
[//]: # 'Example2'
