React State Management

Comprehensive guide to modern React state management patterns, from local component state to global stores and server state synchronization.

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up global state management in a React app
  • Choosing between Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or Jotai
  • Managing server state with React Query or SWR
  • Implementing optimistic updates
  • Debugging state-related issues
  • Migrating from legacy Redux to modern patterns

Core Concepts

1. State Categories
TypeDescriptionSolutions
Local StateComponent-specific, UI stateuseState, useReducer
Global StateShared across componentsRedux Toolkit, Zustand, Jotai
Server StateRemote data, cachingReact Query, SWR, RTK Query
URL StateRoute parameters, searchReact Router, nuqs
Form StateInput values, validationReact Hook Form, Formik
2. Selection Criteria
Small app, simple state → Zustand or Jotai
Large app, complex state → Redux Toolkit
Heavy server interaction → React Query + light client state
Atomic/granular updates → Jotai

Quick Start

Zustand (Simplest)
typescript
// store/useStore.ts
import { create } from 'zustand'
import { devtools, persist } from 'zustand/middleware'
interface AppState {
user: User | null
theme: 'light' | 'dark'
setUser: (user: User | null) => void
toggleTheme: () => void
}
export const useStore = create<AppState>()(
devtools(
persist(
(set) => ({
user: null,
theme: 'light',
setUser: (user) => set({ user }),
toggleTheme: () => set((state) => ({
theme: state.theme === 'light' ? 'dark' : 'light'
})),
}),
{ name: 'app-storage' }
)
)
)
// Usage in component
function Header() {
const { user, theme, toggleTheme } = useStore()
return (
<header className={theme}>
{user?.name}
<button onClick={toggleTheme}>Toggle Theme</button>
</header>
)
}

Detailed patterns and worked examples

Detailed pattern documentation lives in references/details.md. Read that file when the navigation tier above is insufficient.

Best Practices

Do's
  • Colocate state - Keep state as close to where it's used as possible
  • Use selectors - Prevent unnecessary re-renders with selective subscriptions
  • Normalize data - Flatten nested structures for easier updates
  • Type everything - Full TypeScript coverage prevents runtime errors
  • Separate concerns - Server state (React Query) vs client state (Zustand)
Don'ts
  • Don't over-globalize - Not everything needs to be in global state
  • Don't duplicate server state - Let React Query manage it
  • Don't mutate directly - Always use immutable updates
  • Don't store derived data - Compute it instead
  • Don't mix paradigms - Pick one primary solution per category

Migration Guides

From Legacy Redux to RTK
typescript
// Before (legacy Redux)
const ADD_TODO = "ADD_TODO";
const addTodo = (text) => ({ type: ADD_TODO, payload: text });
function todosReducer(state = [], action) {
switch (action.type) {
case ADD_TODO:
return [...state, { text: action.payload, completed: false }];
default:
return state;
}
}
// After (Redux Toolkit)
const todosSlice = createSlice({
name: "todos",
initialState: [],
reducers: {
addTodo: (state, action: PayloadAction<string>) => {
// Immer allows "mutations"
state.push({ text: action.payload, completed: false });
},
},
});
