create-store

To create a persistent Zustand store in React Native, define TypeScript types and use Zustand's persist middleware with MMKVStorage, placing the logic in a feature-scoped application file to ensure state survives app restarts.

Yes, Zustand works with MMKV to persist app state across restarts by integrating MMKVStorage as the storage engine within Zustand's persist middleware, enabling fast, synchronous local storage for React Native applications.

The best way to structure persistent global state is using a modular, feature-scoped pattern, placing storage logic in src/modules/{feature}/application/{feature}.storage.ts to maintain consistent file naming and separation of concerns.

Yes, you can use Zustand for transient UI state without MMKV persistence by creating a basic store that omits the persist middleware, which is ideal for managing temporary component state that does not need to survive app restarts.

You need MMKV persistence for React Native state management when handling app-wide settings, auth state, and user preferences that must survive app restarts, ensuring data remains available across sessions without asynchronous database calls.

Creating feature-scoped Zustand stores instead of a single global store enforces a modular architecture, keeping feature-specific storage logic isolated within application files to improve maintainability and prevent state bloat across features.
