How to architecture state variables in React

Hello Devs, in this article, we will see how to architecture the state variables in your react app.

  • If a state is used by a single component it should be inside that component.

  • If a state is used by multiple components in a tree and they are all direct children of the same parent component, it should be in their parent component.

  • If a state is used by multiple components in a tree but they are not direct children of the same parent component, it should be in context/redux.

  • If a state is used by multiple components in different trees, it should be in context/redux.
