Introduction
State management is a critical aspect of any large-scale React application. In this post, we'll explore different approaches, from React's built-in hooks like useState and useContext to powerful libraries like Redux and Zustand.
Using Built-in Hooks
For simple to moderately complex applications, React's built-in hooks are often sufficient. useState is perfect for component-level state, while useContext combined with useReducer can handle state that needs to be shared across multiple components.
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
Redux Toolkit
For applications with complex, global state, Redux Toolkit provides a standardized and efficient way to manage it. It simplifies the process of writing Redux logic and eliminates boilerplate code.
Zustand
Zustand is a minimalistic state management library that offers a simple, hook-based API. It's a great alternative to Redux for those who prefer a less boilerplate-heavy approach.
