Zustand Has a Free State Management Library — Simpler Than Redux, More Powerful Than Context

A React developer set up Redux for global state. Store, reducers, actions, selectors, middleware, thunks - 200 lines of boilerplate for a counter. Zustand is state management in 5 lines. No providers, no reducers, no boilerplate. Just a store and a hook. What Zustand Offers for Free Minimal API - create() + useStore() is all you need No Provider - No wrapping your app in Context TypeScript - Full type inference Middleware - Persist, immer, devtools, subscribeWithSelector Slices - Split store into slices for large apps Transient Updates - Update without re-rendering Tiny - 1KB gzipped Quick Start import { create } from ' zustand ' const useStore = create (( set ) => ({ count : 0 , increment : () => set (( state ) => ({ count : state . count + 1 })), decrement : () => set (( state ) => ({ count : state . count - 1 })), })) function Counter () { const { count , increment } = useStore () return < button onClick = { increment } > { count } < /button > } That is it. No Provider. No reducer.
