State Management in React Native | The React Native Show Podcast Ep. 19

The React Native Show Podcast

In this episode of the React Native Show, Łukasz Chludziński (https://twitter.com/loginlukasza) and Ola Desmurs-Linczewska (https://twitter.com/p_syche_) discuss state management in React Native apps. As there’s no magical formula for handling it, don’t expect straightforward direction or easy answers from this episode. Instead, get ready for: - an overview of state management in React Native & React apps - a deep-dive into state management libraries based on different philosophies, including Redux, MobX, XState, Jotai, and React Query - an insight into how Ola compared these libraries when writing “Simplifying State Management in React Native” - a few words of the book-writing process as seen by Ola You can find Ola’s book on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Simplifying-State-Management-React-Native/dp/1803235039) and GitHub (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Simplifying-State-Management-in-React-Native). New state management libraries keep appearing, so choosing the one that best suits your project and taste may be challenging. We hope to help you make this decision and get a broader perspective on state management in React Native by having Ola and Łukasz discuss the following aspects of a few libraries: - the people behind them - the category they belong, e.g. flux vs. proxy vs. atom, mutable vs. immutable, battle-tested vs. experimental - how they work and what it means to the developer Resources that Ola and Łukasz mentioned in this episode: ➡️ Dan Abramov’s Fundamentals of Redux Course https://egghead.io/courses/fundamentals-of-redux-course-from-dan-abramov-bd5cc867 ➡️ Michel Weststrate’s courses on Mobx https://egghead.io/courses/manage-complex-state-in-react-apps-with-mobx, https://egghead.io/courses/manage-application-state-with-mobx-state-tree ➡️ State explosion https://statecharts.dev/state-machine-state-explosion.html ➡️ Daishi Kato’s course on Mobx https://egghead.io/courses/manage-application-state-with-jotai-atoms-2c3a29f0 ➡️ Dominik Dorfmeister’s blog about React Query https://tkdodo.eu/blog/practical-react-query Enjoy the episode, and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel for more content like this!
