What is Zustand and how do I use it with React hooks?

Zustand is a small, fast state management library for React. It allows you to manage state using hooks, making it easy to integrate into your React components.

Can you show me a simple example of using Zustand with React hooks?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import create from 'zustand';

const useStore = create(set => ({
  count: 0,
  increment: () => set(state => ({ count: state.count + 1 })),
}));

function Counter() {
  const { count, increment } = useStore();
  return (
    <div>
      <p>{count}</p>
      <button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
    </div>
  );
}

This creates a simple counter using Zustand.

What are the benefits of using Zustand over other state management libraries?

Zustand is lightweight, has a simple API, and doesn't require a provider component. It's also very performant and easy to use with React hooks.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of when using Zustand?

While Zustand is great for many use cases, it may not be suitable for very complex state management scenarios where more structured solutions like Redux might be better.
