Offer practical patterns to manage state in React prototypes without heavyweight libraries.
Start with a simple useReducer-based state pattern, then evolve with more patterns as needed.

Use useReducer with standard reducer patterns to manage state in React prototypes. This approach organizes state across data, UI, and derived values without requiring external state-management libraries, keeping your prototype lightweight and explicit.
Follow standard reducer shapes with explicit action unions and pure reducers that separate data, UI state, and derived state into distinct layers. This structure makes state transitions predictable and easier to test and maintain.
Separate derived-state computation into its own layer within your reducer pattern. Calculate derived values once during state updates rather than during render, following explicit rules to keep performance efficient and logic centralized.
Yes. Combine useReducer with React Context to scope state to specific features in your prototype. This keeps state organized by feature without requiring a state-management library while maintaining clear action and reducer boundaries.
Use minimal state-machine helpers built on top of useReducer to define explicit transitions between states. This keeps state logic simple and readable while preventing invalid state combinations in your prototype.
Stick with reducer patterns as long as your prototype has manageable state complexity. Move to a dedicated library when you need advanced features like time-travel debugging, middleware, or when state logic becomes difficult to follow across many reducers.
