State Management

State Management

In frontend applications, especially with libraries like react, state management refers to the practice of managing the data that your application depends on.

Why is it needed?

As applications grow, passing state down through many levels of components (prop drilling) becomes cumbersome and hard to maintain. State management libraries provide a centralized store for your application’s state.

  • Redux: One of the original and most popular state management libraries for React.
  • Zustand: A smaller, simpler, and more modern alternative to Redux.
  • MobX: Uses observables to make state management simple and scalable.

Choosing the right state management strategy depends on the complexity of your application. Sometimes, react-hooks like useState and useContext are sufficient.
