Micro State Management with React Hooks: Explore custom hooks libraries like Zustand, Jotai, and Valtio to manage global states

Explore global state management and select the best library for your application

Key Features

• Understand the essential concepts and features of micro state management
• Discover solutions to common problems faced while implementing micro state management
• Explore the different libraries, their coding style, and the optimum approach to rendering optimization

Book Description

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.
