As React has evolved, patterns for managing application state have adapted to enhance scalability and maintainability, notably with the introduction of Redux and Hooks. Initially, Redux enforced a separation between business logic and presentational components, a practice that was widely adopted following Dan Abramov's influential blog post in 2015. However, with the advent of Hooks in React 16.8, developers are encouraged to integrate stateful logic directly into functional components, avoiding arbitrary separations and improving code readability. The useSelector and useDispatch Hooks replace the connect method, offering a streamlined approach to accessing and modifying state, which enhances performance and reduces complexity by eliminating connected higher-order components (HOCs). Despite debates on its relevance in the wake of the Hooks and Context API, Redux remains a reliable tool for global state management in large-scale applications, providing benefits such as fewer lines of code and improved cross-platform code sharing. React's backward compatibility ensures that both class-based and functional components coexist, allowing for smooth transitions within existing codebases.
