Zustand Has a Free React State Manager — 1KB, No Providers, No Boilerplate

Zustand replaces Redux with 10 lines of code. No providers, no reducers, no actions, no context. Just a hook. The Redux Problem Redux Toolkit improved things, but you still need: store setup, slices, providers wrapping your app, dispatch, selectors, and middleware. For a counter, that's 30+ lines across 3 files. Zustand: create a store in 5 lines, use it anywhere. What You Get for Free import { create } from ' zustand ' ; const useStore = create (( set ) => ({ count : 0 , increment : () => set (( state ) => ({ count : state . count + 1 })), reset : () => set ({ count : 0 }), })); // Use anywhere — no Provider needed function Counter () { const count = useStore (( state ) => state . count ); const increment = useStore (( state ) => state . increment ); return < button onClick = { increment } > { count } < /button> ; } That's the entire state management solution. No setup. No boilerplate. 1KB gzipped — Redux Toolkit + React-Redux = ~33KB No Provider — no wrapper component at the root Sel
