I'm still learning React, been trying to rewrite my site, and I've been struggling with this idea. Are you using hooks as a replacement for Redux and Sagas? I've seen a codebase for a basic app with authentication, using redux and sagas and it made me want to throw up. So I've been thinking about a similar way to use hooks and context so replace them. Wanted to know your thoughts. Post looks brilliant 👏 keep doing what you do chief

Yeah i am using it as replacement for using any state management library.
And yes the old redux stuff is really really ugly and I'm not touching it ever if i dont absolutely have to. I definately would recommend using something like I wrote in this article but if you want a bit more you can look at redux toolkit. It's way way way better than traditional redux and I've been using it for a while now and it just works great.

Honestly I'd prefer to stick to just using native react in my application where at all possible. I think if it's possible with the framework why add the dependencies. Thanks for replying, would you mind if I contacted you if I have any issues??

Same, I only add redux and stuff if my state management gets big otherwise context and reducer works well.
Yeah sure, same name on every platfrom choose whichever you prefer :)
