Discussion on: Can React state management get any simpler than this?

the actions are pretty much static, so we are avoiding needlessly having to include them in the deps array of useCallback when invoking actions there.

What you did in your example with "static" actions is global state singleton. It's a very bad example to teach. Many books talked about this. I suggest to revisit SOLID principles and try to apply them. All OOP concepts are very much applicable everywhere where there is state. And in UI there is a lot of state that needs to be managed.

Passing down dependencies is nothing wrong. It's the right way. When it's too much and interduces dependencies that we don't want to have - it can be avoided in React with useContext().

Just to be clear, this article is not intended to "teach" or even recommend certain "principles". It is merely to showcase—in the most succinct way possible—a library that some folks may choose to explore. And being designed exclusively to work with Hooks, it is obviously for those that prefer functional programming. There is never the intention to claim that it is the "best" approach, nor to compare with libraries, as the article has made clear.

As for the library itself, just like the over-simplified examples (not recommended patterns) used to demonstrate... it is not meant to challenge anybody's approach to development. It is unopinionated, and merely provides flexible building blocks that individuals can use while applying whatever programming principles they choose to adhere to.
