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

You are expected to have moderate knowledge of React, including React hooks. Please refer to the official site, https://reactjs.org, to learn more.

In some of the code in this chapter, we will be using TypeScript (https://www.typescriptlang.org), so you should have basic knowledge of it.

The code in this chapter is available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Micro-State-Management-with-React-Hooks/tree/main/chapter_07.

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

At the time of writing, the current version of Zustand is v3. Future versions may provide some different APIs.
