Data Flow & State

Author

Pascual Vila

Senior React Instructor // Code Syllabus

React State is the memory of your application. But where that memory lives dictates how clean and scalable your codebase will be.

Local State

Local state is encapsulated. It is the useState or useReducer hook used within a single component. Fast performance, easy to debug, but leads to Prop Drilling if data needs to be shared widely.

Global State

Global state is accessible by any component in the tree, regardless of nesting depth. Fixes Prop Drilling immediately and is essential for Themes, User Auth, and Carts. However, it can cause unnecessary re-renders if not optimized properly using Selectors.
