Bingung pilih state management untuk React app? Berikut perbandingan opsi paling populer di 2026.
React Context
Best for: State sederhana, theme, auth status
const ThemeContext = createContext("light");
Kelebihan: Built-in, no extra dependency Kekurangan: Re-render semua consumer, tidak untuk state kompleks
Zustand
Best for: Medium-large apps, global state
const useStore = create((set) => ({
count: 0,
increment: () => set((s) => ({ count: s.count + 1 })),
}));
Kelebihan: Simple API, no provider needed, great devtools Kekurangan: Imperative style
Jotai
Best for: Atomic state, granular updates
const countAtom = atom(0);
const [count, setCount] = useAtom(countAtom);
Kelebihan: Minimal re-renders, atomic, composable Kekurangan: Paradigma baru yang perlu dipelajari
Rekomendasi
- Mulai dengan React Context + useState
- Kalau mulai rumit → Zustand (paling pragmatic)
- Kalau butuh granular reactivity → Jotai
- Redux? Skip di 2026 kecuali project legacy
