State Management

State management refers to the process of handling dynamic data in an application—data that can change over time due to user interactions, API responses, or internal events. In web development, and especially in frameworks like React, managing state effectively is key to building interactive and scalable applications.

State can be:

• Local state (managed within a component using hooks like useState)

• Global state (shared across multiple components, often managed with libraries like Redux, Zustand, or the Context API)

• Server state (data fetched from remote servers, managed with tools like React Query or SWR)

• UI state (e.g., modals, form inputs, toggles)

• Persistent state (saved in local storage, cookies, or databases)

In React, managing state typically involves triggering re-renders when state changes, ensuring that the UI stays in sync with the data. As applications grow, state management becomes more complex, often requiring structured patterns or external libraries to handle dependencies, caching, or cross-component communication.

A well-managed state system enhances maintainability, performance, and user experience, while poor state design can lead to bugs, inconsistencies, and performance issues.

What is Superflex.ai?

We’ve all seen great designs lose their edge during development. Superflex solves that by generating real, usable React components directly from your Figma files. It respects your design system, keeps your UI logic clean, and helps developers stay true to the original vision—without extra interpretation or cleanup.
