What is Redux and why is it used with React?
Redux is a popular state management library often used with React to handle complex application states in a predictable and scalable way.
In large applications, managing state across many components can become difficult. Redux solves this by centralizing the state into a single store and managing updates through a strict process, making the data flow easy to trace and debug.
Why Redux with React?
- React’s internal state (
useState
) works well for small apps, but struggles when the app grows. - Redux provides a clear structure for updating state through actions and reducers.
- It makes state predictable, testable, and easier to debug (especially using tools like Redux DevTools).
In short, Redux complements React by providing better control over the application's data and making large applications easier to manage.
