How do I manage state in a React application?

In React, you can manage state using the built-in useState hook for local state or useContext and useReducer for global state.

Can you explain the useState hook?

Sure! The useState hook allows you to add state to functional components. You call it with the initial state and it returns an array with the current state and a function to update it.

What about managing global state?

For global state, you can use the useContext hook along with useReducer. This allows you to share state across components without prop drilling.

Are there any libraries for state management?

Yes, popular libraries include Redux, MobX, and Zustand. They provide more structured ways to manage state in larger applications.
