You manage complex UI state in React by centralizing it with Redux Toolkit, using createSlice for features like modals and themes. This enforces a strict separation of UI state from server data, ensuring predictable state flows and a serializable store.

The best way to separate UI state from server data is by centralizing UI concerns in dedicated slices. Configure the Redux Toolkit store to handle only serializable client-side state like sidebar toggles, filters, and themes, keeping it strictly independent of server data.

To structure feature-level slices and typed hooks, organize files under src/frontend/features/<feature>/store. Export reducers, typed hooks, and selectors from this directory to coordinate store configuration and ensure safe, reusable state management across components.

Use createSelector for memoized selectors when deriving UI state in Redux Toolkit. It creates typed, memoized selectors that efficiently compute derived data, preventing unnecessary re-renders when the underlying store state remains unchanged.

Configure a Redux Toolkit store with typed hooks by using configureStore to establish clear reducer organization. Generate typed hook wrappers around useDispatch and useSelector to ensure end-to-end type safety for your feature-level UI state modules.

Yes, Redux Toolkit works well for managing client-side themes and sidebar toggles. By creating dedicated UI slices with createSlice, you can centralize these visual state concerns and wire them directly into React components for live updates.
