Redux with TypeScript vs Context API

What are the main differences between using Redux with TypeScript and the Context API?

Redux with TypeScript provides a more structured state management solution with strong typing, while the Context API is simpler and more lightweight, suitable for smaller applications.

When should I choose Redux over Context API?

Choose Redux when your application has complex state management needs, requires middleware, or needs to handle large amounts of data efficiently.

Can I use both Redux and Context API together?

Yes, you can use both together. For example, you might use Context API for theming and Redux for managing application state.

What are the performance implications of using one over the other?

Redux can be more performant for large applications due to its optimized updates, while Context API may lead to unnecessary re-renders if not used carefully.

Are there any best practices for using Redux with TypeScript?

Yes, use interfaces for your state and actions, leverage TypeScript's utility types, and keep your reducers pure for better maintainability.
