Creating a Zustand Store
Install Zustand, define a store with create, add state properties and action functions, and understand how the store differs from Redux architecture.
What Is Zustand?
Zustand (German for 'state') is a minimal, fast state management library for React. Unlike Redux, it requires no boilerplate like action creators, reducers, or a Provider wrapper. You define a store as a single function, and any component can subscribe to it with a simple hook. It is ideal for apps that need global state without the complexity of Redux Toolkit.
Installing Zustand
Install Zustand from npm with a single command. It has zero dependencies and is compatible with React Native out of the box. The package is lightweight — under 1 kB gzipped — which keeps your app's bundle size small.
npm install zustand
