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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned a new approach: combining React Context and Subscription. It provides the benefits of both: providing isolated values in subtrees and avoiding extra re-renders. This approach is useful for mid to large apps. In such apps, having different values in different subtrees can happen, and we can avoid extra re-renders, which can be very important for our apps.

Starting from the next chapter, we will dive into various global state libraries. We will learn how those libraries are based on what we have learned so far.
