3:38 - What is state?

Temporary client side data
From forms, button clicks, etc.
Cached server data

UI status

isToggled
12:48 - Global state vs. Local state
Ask yourself: does the data need to be accessed outside this component?
If data does need to be accessed a little higher, you can simply move where that state lives. React calls this “lifting state”.
Do you count Apollo API calls as global state?
21:15 - Managing Local state
useState, setState
Passing state & update functions down
State machines
31:12 - Approaches to Global state
Redux
Complicated, hard to learn
Very useful, organized and structured
Actions, reducers and more
Time traveling do to nature of store
Immutability
Tons of Redux based hooks libs
Mobx
Based on Observables
An Observable is like a Stream and allows to pass zero or more events where the callback is called for each event. Often Observable is preferred over Promise because it provides the features of Promise and more.
