Hookstate VS react-context

Avoid using complex state structures to make it easier to manage and debug. There are multiple libraries to help manage complex state management such as Redux, Hookstate, etc. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

As you stumble on this post and article, do check out one library not mentioned in this list: hookstate. I'm a big fan, the API is very simple and it offers lots of extendability options. Source: almost 2 years ago

I have been using Hookstate, curiously aanbidt never mentioned in lists like this. Source: almost 2 years ago

I've never understood why Hookstate (https://hookstate.js.org/) doesn't get more love. It's super-simple (no boilerplate), modern (hook-based), performant (works great for all size apps) and even works outside of components beautifully. It's somewhat similar to context, but more robust and feature-rich (because it's a true state management solution, which context really isn't meant to be). It's basically the only...

The context API is generally used for managing states that will be needed across an application. For example, we need our user data or tokens that are returned as part of the login response in the dashboard components.

Previously, in the legacy docs, the Context API was just one of the topics within the Advanced guides. Unless you went digging, you wouldn't have been introduced to it as one of the core ways to handle deep passing of data. I really like that, in the new docs, Context is recommended as a way to manage state as its one of the best ways to avoid prop drilling. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

You need to use something like Redux or the React Context API. Source: about 1 year ago
