The Art of Minimalist State in Modern React

Keep state close to where it matters and model transitions explicitly.

Guilherme Soares

Large React screens become easier to evolve when state is scoped by intent.

Start from transitions

If your UI has three states, represent those states directly before adding data fields.

ts.tsx

type PanelState = "idle" | "editing" | "saving";

Once transitions are visible, side effects become easier to reason about.
