Client-Side State with Zustand/Jotai

In React, you've learned about local state with useState, which is great for data used only within a single component.

But what if data needs to be shared across many components, or deeply nested components, without 'prop drilling' (passing props down through many layers)? This is where client-side global state management comes in.

Global state allows any component to access or update shared data directly, simplifying complex data flows and making your application more maintainable.

Zustand is a small, fast, and scalable state management solution for React. Its API is simple and hooks-based, making it very intuitive to learn and use.

• Minimalistic: Less boilerplate code.
• Fast: Optimized for performance.
• Flexible: Works with any React component.
• Hooks-based: Feels natural to React developers.
