What are the benefits of using Immer in my projects?

Using Immer allows you to work with immutable state in a more convenient way. It simplifies state updates by letting you write code as if you're mutating the state directly.

Can you explain how it handles immutability?

Sure! Immer uses a concept called 'drafts' to track changes. You can modify a draft state, and Immer will produce a new immutable state based on those changes.

Does it improve performance?

Yes, Immer can improve performance by reducing the need for deep cloning of objects. It optimizes updates by only creating new objects for the parts of the state that have changed.

Are there any downsides to using Immer?

One downside is that it adds a small overhead due to the proxy mechanism it uses. However, for most applications, this is negligible compared to the benefits.
