Core principles

  1. Single-responsibility stores: each store manages one domain (auth, todos, ui).
  2. Actions ≠ components: move side effects out of components into store actions or dedicated service functions.
  3. Predictable async lifecycle: represent statuses explicitly rather than booleans scattered across code.
  4. Minimal coupling: stores expose only required getters/actions; components select narrow slices.
  5. Testability: stores’ actions are pure where possible and side effects are injectable/mocked.

For Educational Tech (EdTech)

A student cannot access a video lecture before an exam. Zust2Help verifies their subscription, checks regional content restrictions, and either fixes the permission or instantly re-routes the request to a 24/7 support educator.

What is Zustand?

Zustand (German for "state") is a small, fast, and scalable state management library that uses simplified flux principles. Unlike Redux, it requires minimal boilerplate. Unlike Context API, it prevents unnecessary re-renders. zust2help

Key features:

  • No provider wrappers needed
  • Works outside React components
  • Extremely small bundle size (~1kB)
  • Supports middleware (persist, devtools, redux, etc.)
  • TypeScript-friendly

Logging Middleware

const log = (config) => (set, get, api) =>
  config(
    (...args) => 
      console.log('  applying', args)
      set(...args)
      console.log('  new state', get())
    ,
    get,
    api
  )

const useStore = create(log((set) => ( /* ... */ )))
