State management is a foundational pillar for building scalable React applications. State in react represents the current data and behavior of your application. State can be divided into Reactive and Non-Reactive.
Prop drilling is a pitfall in React where passing props to child components becomes problematic. Local state is handled within a single component and can be managed using the useState hook.
Refers to a scenario where you need to persist values across renders without triggering re-renders. useContext and useReducer are used when multiple components need access to the same state. Redux is used for application-wide state shared across unrelated components
Best practices include avoiding deeply nested state objects with useState, using it sparingly with useRef for cases where reactivity isnβt required, splitting contexts logically with useContext, and keeping the state modular and logically structured with redux.
