Detailed Comparison

Redux

redux-thunk
redux-thunk

It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test. t provides a great experience, such as live code editing combined with a time traveling debugger.

MobX is a battle tested library that makes state management simple and scalable by transparently applying functional reactive programming (TFRP). React and MobX together are a powerful combination. React renders the application state by providing mechanisms to translate it into a tree of renderable components. MobX provides the mechanism to store and update the application state that React then uses.

Redux Thunk middleware allows you to write action creators that return a function instead of an action. The thunk can be used to delay the dispatch of an action, or to dispatch only if a certain condition is met. The inner function receives the store methods dispatch and getState as parameters.

Predictable state; Easy testing; Works with other view layers besides React

What are some alternatives to Redux, MobX, redux-thunk?

Zustand

Zustand

Small, fast and scaleable bearbones state-management solution. Has a comfy api based on hooks, that isn't boilerplatey or opinionated, but still just enough to be explicit and flux-like.

Effector

Effector

It is an effective multi-store state manager for Javascript apps, that allows you to manage data in complex applications.

redux-saga

redux-saga

An alternative side effect model for Redux apps

vuex

vuex

Vuex is a state management pattern + library for Vue.js applications. It serves as a centralized store for all the components in an application, with rules ensuring that the state can only be mutated in a predictable fashion. It also integrates with Vue's official devtools extension to provide advanced features such as zero-config time-travel debugging and state snapshot export / import.

Unstated

Unstated

State so simple, it goes without saying

reselect

reselect

Simple “selector” library for Redux (and others) inspired by getters in NuclearJS, subscriptions in re-frame and this proposal from speedskater.

Redux Observable

Redux Observable

It allows developers to dispatch a function that returns an observable, promise or iterable of action(s). Compose and cancel async actions to create side effects and more.

Recoiljs

Recoiljs

It is an experimental state management library for React apps. It provides several capabilities that are difficult to achieve with React alone, while being compatible with the newest features of React.

XState

XState

It is a library for creating, interpreting, and executing finite state machines and statecharts. It's a really powerful package that can be used to manage state in React Apps.

Jotai

Jotai

It takes an atomic approach to global React state management. Build state by combining atoms and renders are automatically optimized based on atom dependency. This solves the extra re-render issue of React context, eliminates the need for memoization, and provides a similar developer experience to signals while maintaining a declarative programming model.
