Recoil
Recoil is an experimental state management library for React apps. It provides several capabilities that are difficult to achieve with React alone, while being compatible with the newest features of React. (by facebookexperimental)
react-query
🤖 Powerful asynchronous state management, server-state utilities and data fetching for TS/JS, React, Solid, Svelte and Vue. [Moved to: https://github.com/TanStack/query] (by tannerlinsley)

React State Management in 2024
Atom-based: splits states into tiny pieces of data called atoms, which can be written to and read from using React hooks. In this group, we have Recoil and Jotai.

Thoughts on Signals?
Atomic libs include Recoil, Jotai, and the one I maintain: Zedux. Zedux especially was designed to work well with sockets and RxJS observables and has been getting some traction recently, so of course I recommend checking it out. Feel free to hmu with any questions.

Designing an async app as a long time backend engineer dedicated to synchronous pages. Help!
However you may find better luck with Recoil which is developed by Meta, and is designed to work with Async data, and is a much simpler project to get started with.

Scalability: the Lost Level of React State Management
Recoil introduced a new pattern for storing state and propagating updates. This atomic model has proven to scale up better than the singleton model at the cost of some hefty learning curves.

Going from Flutter to React
recoil is extremely similar to Riverpod but for React (both are backed by a data flow graph).

Some Very Cool (Underrated maybe) React Libraries
React Query: This library makes it easy to manage data in your React applications, from fetching to caching and updating data. It offers a simple, powerful, and flexible API for handling data and keeping your UI in sync with your data. https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-query

Do I need a fetching library in React?
useQuery (react-query) (+) all from above (+) even more features (-) more complex, even the examples are complex, has more aggressive defaults (re-fetching every 2s)

React hooks for 28 RxJS operators
React Query is the gold standard for using async data declaratively with hooks. I ended up needing to modify even my simple useTimer hook to work more like useQuery to take multiple keys in order to work as an inner observable for other operators.

Goodbye, useEffect - Reactathon 2022
For most situations, I would recommend using a library like React Query. It handles a lot of common data-fetching boiler plate and already accounts for this useEffect() issue. Also, it supports Suspense if you want to use that.

Managing application cache with react-query, and code generation.
At this point, I want to move on to the react-query cache management library. Give a brief overview and see how you can improve your developer experience with cache using this library.

When to use a hook, and when to use a service?
There isn't the "service" concept in React. If you need to send off data you can just do so with fetch. If you need to load data and cache it so it can be used across components and unmounts, then something like react-query is what I'd recommend. But it's basically a combination of React Context, useEffect, and useState to manage the cache and lifecycle of a request.

What would you consider to be a must for a modern 2022 dev stack?
react-query is pretty neat too. I default to that for most projects unless it's something unusual
What are some alternatives?
