State Management in React Framework

The main goal of this bachelor’s thesis is to describe and compare different state management tools used for React framework. Several currently most used tools will be selected for the purpose of this thesis. For each of these tools, their strengths and weaknesses will be mapped, along with their description and example of their usage. This thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. Theoretical part will firstly contain general description of web applications and corresponding frontend web technologies with their historical development, along with their relevance to the React framework. This is then followed by a description of React framework itself and its usage for web and mobile development, again with a description of its core technologies and a brief history. Then the concept of state management will be explained, along with the introduction of the most currently used state management tools. For each of these tools, this thesis describes their usage and points out their strengths and weaknesses. All tools are then compared with each other. In addition, one of the chapters is devoted to a comparison of React framework against other selected competing frontend frameworks. Practical part of this thesis deals with the implementation of a sample web application, which includes the implementation of each tool mentioned in previous chapters. This thesis intends to be beneficial mainly for novice developers, as it gives them a basic overview of React framework and state management tools, which should simplify their continual deeper self-study.
