What are the best practices for managing state in React?

What are the best practices for managing state in React?

Some best practices include using local state for UI state, lifting state up when necessary, and using context for global state.

When should I use Redux instead of React's built-in state management?

Use Redux when your app has complex state logic, needs to share state across many components, or requires middleware for side effects.

Can you explain how to use the Context API for state management?

Sure! The Context API allows you to create a context object, wrap your components with a provider, and access the state using the useContext hook.

What are some common pitfalls to avoid in React state management?

Common pitfalls include overusing state, not normalizing data, and failing to memoize components that depend on state.
