Manage Application State with Jotai Atoms
Daishi Kato
jotai is a primitive and flexible state management solution for React.
jotai gives you a minimalistic API that you can use that separates your state management from your UI. You get the benefits of well manages state AND you don't have to set up any boilerplate like defining actions, reducers, dispatchers, or stores.
You create an atom and you're off to the races managing your application state.
In this course, you'll build an SVG drawing application. You'll see how you can represent the canvas as state through atoms and add svg path, change the path colors, delete, and even undo actions. You'll sum up your learning by learning how jotai can isolate state in your applications by using and composing Providers.
You'll be able to use the concepts you learn here to manage any state in your own application.
This course covers the core API that you'll need to know for managing state in React with Jotai. If you're looking for a state management solution with minimal boilerplate that scales as you need it you should check this out.

Gave me an idea of what Jotai is
Christopher Dunavana year ago - What did you like about this course?
Very rich in content for such a short course, good examples and explanations
Sonja Musicki2 years ago - What did you like about this course?
This course is definitely not for beginners. People should try to do the exercises along and read the documentation since some new changes to the v2 have emerged
alechaye2 years ago - How can this course be improved?
I understand the good intentions of the course, but I think that more than explaining the use of Jotai, what is done is a sample of how it works. The audio is not good and the speed of the code explanation is very fast. I don't think it is a course to easily understand the use of Jotai.

The pace is unsettling and the voice is too low.
