Global State Management

When to use this skill

• Managing a "Booking Cart" or "Wishlist".
• Storing temporary user preferences during a session.
• Avoid prop-drilling more than 3 levels deep.

Tools

• Zustand: Preferred for its simplicity and performance in Next.js.
• React Context: Use for simple theme or auth state.

Implementation (Zustand)

import { create } from 'zustand';
import { Tour } from '@/types';

interface CartState {
    items: Tour[];
    addItem: (tour: Tour) => void;
    removeItem: (id: string) => void;
    clearCart: () => void;
}

export const useCartStore = create<CartState>((set) => ({
    items: [],
    addItem: (tour) => set((state) => ({ items: [...state.items, tour] })),
    removeItem: (id) => set((state) => ({ items: state.items.filter(i => i.$id !== id) })),
    clearCart: () => set({ items: [] }),
}));

Instructions

• Persistence: Use Zustand's middleware for localStorage if the cart needs to survive refresh.
• Context Boundaries: Keep Context Providers high up in layout.tsx.
