How does Immer work in JavaScript?

Can you explain how Immer works in JavaScript?

Sure! Immer is a library that helps manage immutable state in JavaScript applications. It allows you to work with mutable state while keeping the benefits of immutability.

How does it handle state updates?

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

Can you give me an example of using Immer?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example: you can create a draft of your state, modify it, and then produce a new state like this: produce(state, draft => { draft.value = newValue; }).

What are the benefits of using Immer?

The main benefits are simplicity in managing state, reduced boilerplate code, and improved readability of your state updates.
