I actually think that the pure react implementation was the most straight forward. Not hard to follow at all. The other tools can be cool and maybe have more features, but having to use ref to store the value for the store, and put the stuff coming from the third part libraries in the context just feels like unnecessary complexity tbh. I appreciate the time you put into comparing those, though. I would probably reach for something like Zustand if I needed global state or more complex state, but I havent felt a need to really use anything else lately than react built in stuff (i do use graphql so server state is managed by Apollo). I think the benefits from this kind of tools, as I mentioned is that if have really complex state, so that adding new deps and a new api is actually worth it, imho.
I had some custom hooks that were starting to grow quite large and complex ito dependencies, and now there’s a way I can simply apply some refactoring to use my current “global” SM (zustand) in “local” context. Thanks Jack, this was REALLY helpful.
I feel like the initial example would've been a lot cleaner and simpler if you'd just used a single `useReducer` hook to mange the state of your context, rather than multiple `useState` 🤔
I love jotai, the ability to completely separate the whole business logic from the ui is really good, from my experience if you want to create component that has it's own atom better combine it with jotai molecule.
Great video! I'm relatively new to React, but have worked with Vue for a couple of years. So Valtio felt a lot like Vue to me. I think its because the proxy get/set. Zustand confused me a little bit. So naturally I thought I would be using Valtio for my next project. But then again you made Jotai sound way cooler with all the extra features that you mentioned.
Man. I think this is the first ad in a tutorial video that I really got interested to. Thanks for the great tutorial and also for the sponsor of the week
I've been all about jotai for the last few months. I hit that point of the year where I'm redoing the ui of some internal apps with some updates and jotai has really made things nice
hi, are you using jotai for managing ui state or server state or both? i'm currently in the middle of choosing which state manager to use in my e-commerce project :D
This is such a love letter to Dai-shi and I love that. One question: Redux strongly recommends a single store for the entire application, managed with slices. It's one of the things I dislike most about it. Zustand is also "one-way," but does it take a similar philosophical position?
I hope the React team comes up with better design for hooks in the future. In the meantime I’m ok to use the built in state management tools. The deps array sucks but it’s become second nature and I never need to think about it. Also ESLint is always there if I miss something
I permanently intersect with people who infinitely push an array of dependencies in memo and callback. And I ask them what do you think about all this. And do you know what is the most popular answer? If Facebook decided so it is the best solution. After this kind of answer, I want to suicide. Actually I joke )))
Another amazing video. I watch these sort of videos and read articles too. Ill share this with others who are struggling with react and state. I guess most of the complex apps use inhouse stores with deep nested objects
Thanks for the video, a gold mine as always ! I might have missed the information but this in purely about migrating state from React context to another solution right ? Because for example, storing the Zustand state in a ref isn't nessessary at all when you start an app with it. As you said, you are using "createStore" which creates a store that is disconnected from React, that's why you need to store the state in a ref and provide it with the existing React context.
Great video, thank you. I have a question 😅, you have a useEffect in your thumbnail which has the dependency array, but the only dependency array you demo with the idiomatic React APIs is useMemo. Curious if you had any examples with useEffect that are resolved by using the other state libraries, or whether it's predominately the derived state. Thanks again!
True, I should have used useEffect as the example because the case is actually stronger for that. Zustand, Valtio and Jotai make async work a lot simpler, cleaner and easier to debug than using useEffects to do async work.
Hy Jack. Very nice video. Thanks a lot. I just wondering if you need to create dynamically and access the state outside the context (for moderation, for example). In this case, the most straight forward solution would be have chat in array in a global statemanager. However, this means deal with complex nested state. Could I still use this pattern and have a global store to hold multiple instances of chatStore? What do you think?
When i need complex state i use non reactive state (object inside of useRef) and manual rerender (setDummyState({}) when i know data has changed. But still have to use dependency arrays for effects
Love it as always. FYI, At 6:05, the bit where you replace the value of the context with the store gets cut off, which is a little confusing for folks who aren't familiar with using react context

this is a really good video , i have been using react the past 2 years and starting to get frustated with react state management lol so i think its time for me to get into Valtio and other stuff
Jotai reminds me of Solid's signals (I think Jotai has signals now too?) and Valtio reminds me of Solid's stores. Anyways, great video, though I don't think this highlights the strengths of the state management libraries, particularly when using for actual global state vs React's Context (you probably already have a video for that)
would've been nice to see the difference in render between the first simple example and all other examples. Beginners might be tempted to choose the first option just because it's using built-in API and actually looks cleaner than Zustand for example
Hey Jack, This is awesome as usual. I have one question though what are the pros and cons of making individual hooks as you have done in video and not just export everything from one hook?
This was a great comparison. One question, for the jotai example could we get rid of the react context and jotai store by wrapping each Chat in a jotai ?
@@jherr @Jack Herrington I forked the repo and made the change. I'm glad I tried b/c it seems to work! It cleans up the hooks a lot and there are no more imports from react.
Great Examples, i just encounter a problem if i want to initialize a value from router params for example. I then take useEffect and set a value in the context, but there is no rendering of the value change anymore. Could it be that the jotai provider is needed? const setCampaignIdFilter = useSetCampaignIdFilter(); useEffect(() => { if (campaignId) { console.log('campaign id set -------------->') setCampaignIdFilter([campaignId]); } }, [ campaignId, ]) after that useCampaignIdFilter is still empty in the children.
With the latest React docs recommending using a framework (Next, Remix, Gatsby, etc) instead of just building a SPA, do you think global state management libraries still have a place when building a React app with a framework?
AFAIK they do cover SPA and offer Vite as an option in that space. It's not clear to me the connection you are making between a "framework" and a global state manager. Those two things are orthogonal to me. An application that uses SSR/SSG can also use global state managers to manage complex state on the client, I do that every day.
@@jherr I agree that they are generally orthogonal concerns. But I've always assumed (and seen a couple of headlines confirming my bias) that using a state manager like Redux (or one of the ones you demoed) with a framework like NextJS was a bit of an anti-pattern. I have not looked at the matter too deeply, though, and I find it interesting that you do use this pattern. I will keep that in mind and investigate further. I'd love to hear any other thoughts/insights you have on the matter.
@@cdcasey Truth be told I don't use Redux on NextJS or anywhere else. This is more of a viewer request video. But I do use state managers on NextJS and it's usually a combination of React-Query and Zustand for managing more complex client side state. I think the reason that it would be considered an anti-pattern is that getServerSideProps already does so much for the page that a state manager to do the queries is kind of ... pointless. That being said, if your site is a combination of mostly static pages (e.g. product details) and forms pages (e.g. checkout) then a state manager for the forms pages that you may pre-load with some data from getServerSideProps makes sense. Although there are lots of options in the state manager/forms manager/query manager space and you might not need a state manager.
What is derived data. I have an app where i need to examine the user login properties to determine what the user can have access to - is this the same as derived data? there is a squirrel in the background of this video attacking the bird feeder. 🙂
Yeah, that would be derived data. Basically anything that is some kind of synchronous operation to create some new data from one or more pieces of existing data. Like the grand total of a bill would be derived data from the items in the bill, the tax rate, etc. The idea is not to have to manually update the derived data. To instead let the state manager compute the grand total (in this case) any time the referenced data changes. And yes, the squirrels definitely get acrobatic back there. We've ended up having to coat the birdseed in capsicum powder. The birds don't notice but the squirrels hate it. I've got nothing against squirrels though, they just have their own feeder on the other side of the yard.
Hookstate does global and local states same way and same API. It does not require to create any functions or variables outside of a component to achieve better local state. Moving a state from local to global is literally moving a variable from a component function to a shared variable, no component changes are required.
Hi Jack, great video as always. I would like to ask, do you agree that across these 4 implementations, Zustand is the easiest for making unit test? or what implementation you opt for complex business logic ..
For work, probably Zustand, for myself probably Jotai. I think Jotai is the most interesting and powerful, but Zustand is the more conventional chocie.
But how about rerendering of the components? Is the state manager not subscribed to all components and therefore rerender all of them? More and more I'm thinking that I will stick to Vue lol. But that's also because I'm now mapping all features in my head from Vue to React and things like dependency arrays are very frustrating..
Hey Jack one question how single context with non intersecting values provided to the multiple providers created by this same context (as you described in the video ) is different from using different contexts with different providers ? Can you please explain the differences in deep 🙏
I'd love to help you, but I really don't understand your question. How is the same context schema, reused in multiple instances different from different context schemas used with different context providers?
@@jherrI think he's saying "why not have one root context provider with, say, an array of chats, instead of a separate context provider for each chat" But I could be misinterpreting
@@kristopherhaney If that's the case then great question. What I was trying to demonstrate was that you could have isolated local state but manage it with what we would normally call a "global" state manager. I admit that this was a kind of an arbitrary example, and you could totally do this with a shared store. That's one of the issues of RUclips is I want to convey a pattern through an example, but not have the example itself be so large as to overwhelm the pattern. Which leads to the inevitable; you could do this simple project so much simpler with X, Y, and Z, which is often times true. So I just rely on folks to look through my example to see if the pattern is interesting to them in their own applications.
@@jherr what I mean is that in your example you have used one create context and with the same context you have created four providers in the chat containers, how it is different from using 4 different context, what’s the main difference
@@jherr and also how and why keeping same context helping in this case , is it that when we create multiple providers with the same context, it make the states isolated? If so then how ?
What is the true benefit of all these alternatives to hooks? If you tell me readability, sorry, I’m not convinced. Performance means more for me than something so useless as readability
Is there any performance issue for having tons of global states on the app? Do we need to clean up after we’re done? I’ve been using Jotai and it makes it super easy and simple to test a few component since I can hydrate the state very easily
You can use Zustand for local state WITHOUT the context right - is there any benefit to wrapping it in a context Provider - I see the need if your components are the same, and they need to maintain their "own" state - but lets just say you had one chat box. You can still create a small zustand store without the context, right?
Is the context provider really a must when using this libraries? If I'm not mistaken, we can have access to the values without it. I think using context provider can make it easier to swap one strategy with another abstracting how you access the values but in these examples it looks irrelevant. Am I confusing things a bit?
The context at in this example is showing allowing for local state for each of the different chat windows. Is it strictly necessary? No. We could have a global store and pass in a GUID for each chat in this case. But what I'm trying to show is using the context to create a local scope for a "global" state manager.
@@jherr thank you. It's clear now and it's also a pretty good solution for that use cases. I'll watch it again to get a better understanding. Thank you for you clarification!
The only problem with dependency arrays is that people think that, because they exist, you're supposed to make decisions there about when things happen. This is the wrong mental model. Just follow the lint rule and, if you somehow think you need to do something weird in the array, reconsider your approach.
I don't know, I think that's kinda limiting. I've definitely put expressions into dependency arrays [isLoaded && !isError] or whatever (just made that example up so ... don't look too much into that :) ).
I like so much the autocomplete feature in your terminal? With that sweet drop down with command options. Is that some kind of (zsh or something) plugin?
@@victorlongon Cool! I'm still on iTerm for my work machine, and I'm using either Tabby or Warp (or the integrated terminal in VSCode) on my personal machine.
Is there a way to isolate stores for each chat container without using React Context? Do these stores provide ways to instance themselves, where you could theoretically only use their hooks to interact with the store, without polluting a single instance? Half the reason I want to use a 3rd party store library is to avoid Typescript hell with React Contexts. It's unbearably fiddly to get it right.
You could store all the chats in a global store and manage it by ID, but there is a potential there that one chat could accidentally get content from another chat.
@@jherr I have heard that Blazor will get as big as React and Angular In a couple of years and that it will be more convenient to use it than React so people will start using that more
While dependency arrays in React are annoying, I think the hate from them mostly comes from devs not quite understanding how references work in JS (and also not using a linter which fills them out automatically).
It does feel like a tradeoff. You're skipping React-bound utilities for 3rd parties that may or may not be supported long term. Valtio, while really cool, is a pretty small project. I don't like dependency arrays but tools from the React team have stability.
I'm so glad I moved away from React. I loved it, but it ended for me when hooks started hyping. At first I thought I just did not get them, but as years pass I reafirm myself that this looks like a kind of an ideological sect that has taken over web development. Of course I am a nobody and probably wrong.
13:25 why not just `useChatStore.setState({ currentMessage: 'new message' })` directly from the consumer ? Do we really need `setCurrentMessage` and `addMessage` ?

I don't know, I think that's kinda limiting. I've definitely put expressions into dependency arrays [isLoaded && !isError] or whatever (just made that example up so ... don't look too much into that :) ).
I like so much the autocomplete feature in your terminal? With that sweet drop down with command options. Is that some kind of (zsh or something) plugin?
It’s either warp as a terminal or it’s fig for the normal terminal
It is fig, he is using vs code built in terminal
Spot on Victor.
@@jherr I have started using warp now, it is super super nice
@@victorlongon Cool! I'm still on iTerm for my work machine, and I'm using either Tabby or Warp (or the integrated terminal in VSCode) on my personal machine.
Is there a way to isolate stores for each chat container without using React Context? Do these stores provide ways to instance themselves, where you could theoretically only use their hooks to interact with the store, without polluting a single instance?
Half the reason I want to use a 3rd party store library is to avoid Typescript hell with React Contexts. It's unbearably fiddly to get it right.
.
You could store all the chats in a global store and manage it by ID, but there is a potential there that one chat could accidentally get content from another chat.
Could have just used useReducer with its dispatch function.
Yes, that is another option for the hooks based version.
Hi Jack! I wanna learn JS and React, but with Web Assembly and Blazor, what is the future of React? Thank you!
You want to learn JS and React but use WebAssembly and Blazor to do that? That doesn't make any sense to me.
@@jherr I have heard that Blazor will get as big as React and Angular In a couple of years and that it will be more convenient to use it than React so people will start using that more
just use eslint with the react hooks rules enabled
If you could only pick one of the suggestions, which one would you choose?
Jotai.
loved it ♥︎
While dependency arrays in React are annoying, I think the hate from them mostly comes from devs not quite understanding how references work in JS (and also not using a linter which fills them out automatically).
Bro , grow your beard again , you look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better with it
But if we really need to call a function 1 time using useEffect???
You can handle that as you create the context, it will only be created once.
xstate maybe?
what theme is this?

It does feel like a tradeoff. You're skipping React-bound utilities for 3rd parties that may or may not be supported long term. Valtio, while really cool, is a pretty small project. I don't like dependency arrays but tools from the React team have stability.
I actually agree with you.
theme?
Probably Night Wolf [black]
I'm surprised you need contexts at all to do this
Valtio is the easiest.
Found it hard to follow honestly, because of everything being predeclared was not able to keep up the context
I disagree. The pace was perfect.
I also felt the same
Only if you’re a beginner. Beginner stick with useContext.
is your background real or CSS
CSS. :)
The absolute horror of using context for state management.
I'm so glad I moved away from React. I loved it, but it ended for me when hooks started hyping. At first I thought I just did not get them, but as years pass I reafirm myself that this looks like a kind of an ideological sect that has taken over web development. Of course I am a nobody and probably wrong.
React is an anti-pattern.
Hooks encourage async coupling.
Man I swear i cant follow any of your vids
Sorry about that.
13:25 why not just `useChatStore.setState({ currentMessage: 'new message' })` directly from the consumer ?
Do we really need `setCurrentMessage` and `addMessage` ?
