Managing application state in Puck
- Puck is an open-source visual editor for React that's used for building page builders and no-code products.
- To pass data between components in Puck, it's possible to use Context.
- React Context creates a "global state" to share data across components in and out of the editor.
- The article covers two common use cases for React Context within Puck: accessing data stored outside Puck and passing data to nested components.
- By using React Context, developers can rely on any state library or tool they would normally use to manage data between components.
- Puck is just React, so developers can use any state library they would normally use with React.
- Pros of using React Context include its robust state-sharing solution, seamless integration with existing React patterns and components, and the ability to handle complex logic and state.
- Cons of using React Context include performance degradation if state is frequently updated at the top of a large component tree, and debugging difficulty when managing multiple context providers.
- Developers can optimize context usage, incorporate state libraries, or leverage server-side state to improve shared state management in Puck.
- Puck users can join the Discord community, follow events on X and Bluesky, and explore the documentation for advanced techniques that will improve their builds.
