Łukasz and Ola team up to discuss state management in React Native applications. As there’s no magical formula for handling it, don’t expect straightforward direction or easy answers.

State Management in React Native

  • An overview of state management in React & React Native apps
  • A deep-dive into state management libraries based on different philosophies, including Redux, MobX, XState, Jotai, and React Query
  • An insight into how Ola compared these libraries when writing Simplifying State Management in React Native
  • A few words of the book-writing process as seen by Ola

State management libraries

New state management libraries keep appearing, so choosing the one that best suits your project and taste may be challenging. We hope to help you make this decision and get a broader perspective on state management in React Native by having Ola and Łukasz discuss the following aspects of a few libraries:

  • The people behind them
  • The category they belong, e.g. flux vs. proxy vs. atom, mutable vs. immutable, battle-tested vs. experimental
  • How they work and what it means to the developer
