Overview of this book

Managing state in a React Native app can be challenging as it is one of the most difficult concepts to grasp while learning React Native. This is because there are so many ways to do it, and because there is a lack of clear guidelines on what should be used and why. Simplifying State Management in React Native is a comprehensive introduction for those who are new to creating robust React Native apps that will have you up to speed in no time. You’ll get to grips with the different state management strategies and libraries available. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll try out different solutions, as well as compare and choose which solution is perfectly suited to your future projects and personal preferences. Finally, you’ll create a social media clone app using all the concepts and examples that you’ve learned in this book. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to take on existing projects that use various state management strategies and libraries, and confidently make decisions about state management.

Using React Query for Server-Side-Driven State Management

Welcome, my dear reader, to the last chapter describing state management solutions for our Funbook app. In the previous chapter, we looked at the youngest state management library (as of the writing of this book) – Jotai. Jotai is a minimal solution, based on ideas proposed by the Facebook team in their open source library – Recoil. React Query is minimal as well but in a very different sense. React Query is created for managing fetching and mutating data on the server. In this chapter, we will look at what React Query has to offer. We will start by taking a broad look at this library; we will then implement it for data fetching. With our current app setup, we don’t have a real backend server to communicate with, so we can only look at mutating data in theory. We will also look at a few specialized utilities created for React Native by the React Query team.

Here’s a list of topics we will cover...
