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, before diving into the actual implementation of global state libraries, we learned about some basic challenges associated with it, and some categories to differentiate global state libraries. When choosing a global state library, we can see how the library lets us read a global state and write a global state, where the library stores a global state, and how the library optimizes re-renders. These are important aspects to understand which libraries work well for certain use cases, and they should help you to choose a library that suits your needs.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the Zustand library, a library that takes a data-centric approach and optimizes re-renders with selector functions.
