React Native: Reducer vs State

What is the difference between using Reducers and State in React Native?

In React Native, State is used for local component state management, while Reducers are part of the Redux pattern for global state management.

When should I use Reducers instead of just State?

You should use Reducers when you have complex state logic or need to manage global state across multiple components.

Can you give me an example of using a Reducer?

Sure! A Reducer is a pure function that takes the current state and an action, and returns a new state. For example, a counter Reducer could increment or decrement a count based on the action type.

Is it possible to combine both Reducers and State in a single component?

Yes, you can use both in a component. Use State for local UI state and Reducers for managing more complex or shared state.
