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.

Chapter 6: Introducing Global State Libraries

We have learned about several patterns used to share state among components so far. The rest of this book will introduce various global state libraries that use such patterns.

Before diving into the libraries, we will recap the challenges associated with global states and discuss two aspects of libraries: where the state resides and how to control re-renders. With this in hand, we will be able to understand the characteristics of global state libraries.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Working with global state management issues
  • Using the data-centric and component-centric approaches
  • Optimizing re-renders
