Which React state management library should I choose?

This skill provides a specific selection guide: use Zustand for simple to medium apps, Redux Toolkit for large-scale enterprise logic, and Jotai for atomic, granular updates.

Is TypeScript supported in the code examples?

Absolutely. All patterns and implementation guides include full TypeScript support to ensure type safety across your store and components.

Can I use these patterns in React Native?

Yes, the state management patterns for libraries like Zustand, Redux, and Jotai are platform-agnostic and work perfectly in both React web and React Native environments.

Does this skill cover server-side state?

Yes, it provides extensive patterns for TanStack Query (React Query) and SWR, focusing on caching, invalidation, and synchronization with the backend.

How do I handle optimistic UI updates?

The skill includes specialized patterns for React Query that demonstrate how to update the UI immediately and roll back changes if a server mutation fails.
