Part 3 – Exploring Various Libraries for State Management in React Native

In this part, we will start with Redux and its Toolkit; we will learn why they were created, how to configure them, and how to use them for managing liked images in the example app. Next, we will learn about MobX, what problems it wants to solve, and how to configure it and use it to manage liked images in the Funbook app. Then, we will learn about XState, what the mathematical bases for this library are, how to configure it, and how to visualize data thanks to its Visualizer. Finally, we will implement it for managing liked images in the Funbook app. Next comes Jotai; we will see why it was created and what problems it solves. Then, we will configure it for the Funbook app and use it to manage liked images. Finally, we will learn about React Query (or TanStack Query). We will learn why this library is even mentioned in a book about state management. Then, we will configure it and use it for fetching liked images in the Funbook app.

This part includes the following chapters:

• Chapter 5, Implementing Redux in Our Funbook App
• Chapter 6, Using MobX as a State Manager in a React Native App
• Chapter 7, Untangling Complex Flows in React Native Apps with XState
• Chapter 8, Integrating Jotai in a React Native App
• Chapter 9, Using React Query for Server-Side - Driven State Management
