State Management
7 repos
The #1-rated tool in the React 2025 survey. Async state management — fetching, caching, syncing server state. Not a state library exactly but solves what most React apps actually needed Redux for. Def…
#2 in the React survey. Tiny, no boilerplate, hook-based. Replaced Redux for most teams. Stays out of your way until you genuinely need it.
Atomic state for React. Different model than Zustand — composable atoms instead of a single store. Better for derived state that updates granularly without re-renders.
Modern Redux. Massively better DX than classic Redux but still more boilerplate than Zustand. Still relevant for big enterprise apps with established Redux patterns and devtools requirements.
Actor-based state machines. ~27k stars. Overkill for most apps but unbeatable for genuinely complex workflows — multi-step forms, async retries with rollback, real-time collaboration. Worth learning e…
Observable-based reactive state. Different mental model than Zustand/Jotai — closer to Vue's reactivity. Still active but losing ground to simpler stores in 2026.
New 2026 entry from TanStack — local-first reactive DB for offline-capable apps. Worth watching but ecosystem is still young.
