hookstate VS redux-toolkit

Hookstate

Avoid using complex state structures to make it easier to manage and debug. There are multiple libraries to help manage complex state management such as Redux, Hookstate, etc.

As you stumble on this post and article, do check out one library not mentioned in this list: hookstate. I'm a big fan, the API is very simple and it offers lots of extendability options.

Why don't you try out hook state

Lo stack tecnologico è abbastanza standard per il 2022: il core è Next.js (quindi React, 18), di store managemente se ne occupa Hookstate e per un po' di collante in più c'è l'event emitter / pubsub Mitt.

I have been using Hookstate, curiously aanbidt never mentioned in lists like this.

I've never understood why Hookstate (https://hookstate.js.org/) doesn't get more love. It's super-simple (no boilerplate), modern (hook-based), performant (works great for all size apps) and even works outside of components beautifully. It's somewhat similar to context, but more robust and feature-rich (because it's a true state management solution, which context really isn't meant to be). It's basically the only way I've done state in React for a couple of years now and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

If your data requirements aren't particularly mutating / don't mutate regularly then the newer context api would be your friend it essentially variable that is scoped to your react tree which components can subscribe to changes of, but it is important to know that: unfortunately the current useContext hook (and by extension the rest of the context api) doesn't have any means of specifically "choosing" / "selecting" a part of that context state which is where it falls behind redux etc... - even though they technically operate very very similarly - both redux and context api make use of "subscriptions" to track state updates, just that the context api was designed as a means of "dependency injection" whereas redux was designed for managing state across an entire application. Passing data through props is practically the same, as before the hooks api - avoid prop drilling etc... if you're simply looking at avoiding prop-drilling and just passing some stateful value to another component thats deeply nested then context is your friend - as for redux, I personally am further inclined to hookstate as I think their api is really strong.

In my example I am using Redux Toolkit and I got a prompt for actions to login and logout the user. If I need more functions, I can simply start typing the name, and Copilot provides the completion. For instance, in the example, I'm adding a function to update the user. And of course at the end of the file it suggests the exports.

Redux Toolkit 2.0

Redux Toolkit 2.0 is almost here! Hopefully shipping by this weekend :) Migration page

I am _thrilled_ to announce that:

Redux Toolkit 2.0 is LIVE!!!

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/releases/tag/v2.0.0

This major version has new features, faster perf, smaller bundle size, and removes deprecated options.

It's accompanied by majors for all our Redux family packages

## RTK 2.0:

- a new `combineSlices` method for lazy-loading reducers - Updates to `createSlice` to include a `selectors` field and allow defining thunks inside

- Immer 10 w/ faster updates

- Removal of deprecated options

See the migration guide:

- https://redux.js.org/usage/migrations/migrating-rtk-2

All of the Redux libraries now have modernized packaging with full ESM/CJS compat. They also ship modern JS (no transpiling for IE11), which means smaller bundle sizes.

We've also done byte-shaving work to shrink the bundles (extracting error messages, de-duping imports)

## Redux core 5.0:

- The TS conversion we did in 2019!

- Action types _must_ be strings

- `UnknownAction` as the default action type

- Better preloaded state types

- Internal subscription improvements

- Still marks `createStore` as deprecated!

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/releases/tag/v5.0.0

## React-Redux 9.0:

- *Now requires React 18 and RTK 2.0 / Redux 5.0*

Oh hey, that's my post!

(yes I spend too much time refreshing HN :) )

FWIW I did end up with a packaging combination that seems to work sufficiently. I never did fix the "FalseCJS" issue that `are-the-types-wrong` is detecting. I played with double-emitting TS typedefs, and the `tsup` tool _does_ actually have support for that now (added by Andrew Branch from the TS team). So it might be more feasible now. But ultimately I decided I was tired of messing with packaging setup and that what I've got is good enough. (hopefully)

We're actually about to launch Redux Toolkit 2.0 and Redux 5.0 this week, assuming the last couple pieces come together. Here's the latest RCs - you can see the current `package.json` files in there:

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux-toolkit/releases/tag/v2.0.0...

- https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/releases/tag/v5.0.0-rc.1

However, Redux, or pure Redux to be specific, can be quite verbose and boilerplate-heavy. It requires a significantly lengthy setup, which is where Redux Toolkit comes in handy, offering a simplified and more efficient way to set up and manage state in your React applications.

State manager is a tool or library that helps manage the state of an application. It provides a centralized store or container for storing and managing data that can be accessed and updated by different components in the application. A state manager solves several problems. Firstly, it is a good practice to separate data and the logic related to it from components. Secondly, when using local state and passing it between components, the code can become convoluted due to the potential for deep nesting of components. By having a global store, we can access and modify data from any component. Alongside React Context, Redux or MobX are commonly used as state management libraries. Learn more Learn more
