Zustand is a small, fast, and unopinionated state-management library for React that uses a simple hook-based API with minimal boilerplate.
Overview
Zustand lets you create a global store as a hook with no providers, no reducers, and no boilerplate. It supports selective subscriptions for performance, middleware for persistence and devtools, and works seamlessly in React and Next.js.
How I Use Zustand
I use Zustand when Redux is overkill — for UI state, wallet/session state, and cross-component data — selecting only the slices a component needs to avoid re-renders, and adding persistence middleware where state should survive reloads.
Why Zustand?
Zustand hits the sweet spot of simplicity and power: global state in a few lines, no provider tree, and great performance. It keeps state management out of the way so I can focus on features.
