How to use Redux in Next.js

The article provides a comprehensive guide on integrating Redux with Next.js, focusing on setting up state management for applications using these technologies. It highlights Redux's enduring popularity due to its flexibility, extensive community support, and suitability for scalable projects, despite the availability of alternatives. The guide walks through building a sample app with Next.js and Redux, demonstrating how to manage state across sibling components and persist state using Redux Persist, particularly for authentication scenarios. It emphasizes the complexities associated with Redux's integration in server-side rendered Next.js applications, recommending Redux Toolkit for reduced boilerplate and enhanced performance. While advocating for Redux in large-scale projects, it also advises against its use in small-scale projects or when React’s Context API suffices for state management.
