Micro State Management with React Hooks

By: Daishi Kato

Overview of this book

State management is one of the most complex concepts in React. Traditionally, developers have used monolithic state management solutions. Thanks to React Hooks, micro state management is something tuned for moving your application from a monolith to a microservice. This book provides a hands-on approach to the implementation of micro state management that will have you up and running and productive in no time. You’ll learn basic patterns for state management in React and understand how to overcome the challenges encountered when you need to make the state global. Later chapters will show you how slicing a state into pieces is the way to overcome limitations. Using hooks, you'll see how you can easily reuse logic and have several solutions for specific domains, such as form state and server cache state. Finally, you'll explore how to use libraries such as Zustand, Jotai, and Valtio to organize state and manage development efficiently. By the end of this React book, you'll have learned how to choose the right global state management solution for your app requirement.

Technical requirements

If you are new to React Context, it's highly recommended to learn some basics; check out the official documentation (https://reactjs.org/docs/context.html) and the official blog (https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/29/react-v-16-3.html).

You are also expected to have general knowledge around React including React hooks; you can refer to the official site (https://reactjs.org) to learn more.

In some code, we use TypeScript, which you should have basic knowledge of; you can find out more here: https://www.typescriptlang.org.

The code in this chapter is available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Micro-State-Management-with-React-Hooks/tree/main/chapter_03.

To run the code snippets in this chapter, you need a React environment—for example, Create React App (https://create-react-app.dev) or CodeSandbox (https://codesandbox.io).
