The post explores the differences between React Hooks and Redux for state management in React applications in 2024. React Hooks are ideal for simpler, component-level state management and faster development, while Redux is better suited for complex, large-scale applications with global state management. It provides an in-depth comparative analysis and examples of both approaches, highlighting their advantages, common use cases, and performance considerations.

Integration: Combining React Hooks and Redux

when redux was popping and it made a lot of people think that it’s mandatory to learn it and use it in every project. but the truth is you don’t need it until you actually stumble upon a use case for it which rarely even happens with the way technology evovled. nowadays i tend to use a simple useState hook for state management, and if there’s a need to share state between sibling components i would go for react context since it’s way less bolier plate and it’s a native react solution.
don’t overcomplicate things when you don’t need to and you’ll be good😌

Never used Redux, no complaining so far)

Very thorough article! I’m curious to know how often projects use one exclusively over the other, as my work app uses both. I can’t see a situation where using both doesn’t become necessary over time.

No mention of modern alternatives such as Zustand, Jotai, or (maybe out of scope) Tanstack Query. This article feels like it could have been written 5 years ago.
Also is comparing React Context to Redux even a valid comparison these days? React Context is more accurately a dependency injector which has commonly been misused as a state management tool leading to unnecessarily complex code and poor performance.
