What problem does it solve?
Zustand removes boilerplate and complex provider hierarchies for managing shared state in React applications, making state easy to create, read, and update with minimal API surface and predictable re-renders.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Minimal API: Create hook-based stores with a single create call and clear action names.
- Selective subscriptions: Subscribe to specific slices to avoid unnecessary re-renders.
- Middleware & Persistence: Built-in patterns for devtools, persistence, and immutable updates (e.g., immer).
- TypeScript-ready: Strong typings and patterns for scalable stores.
- Use Case: Manage counters, form state, auth/session data, async fetch flows, and persisted user preferences in small-to-medium React apps.
Quick Start
Use zustand to create a typed hook-based store that manages a counter with increment and decrement actions.
