Why we need to use Redux?

Question

Sorry for this question, but I really don't understand why I have to use redux for react if I can make the same with core react features. I can make this.setState({}) and pass this state value between components, and the application will be working in the same way. What is the advantage of redux?

Answer 1

Redux is the most used state management for many React applications for many reasons:

• Reduce and manage complexity when the app is scaling.
• Ensure same state to be shared among multiples React components.
• Reduce the number of props being passed throughout the multiple levels of components.
• Prevent using setState a lot, which can damage your component performance.
• Redux asserts with its one global object to always have one single source of truth.
