ReactN is a drop-in extension of React that adds built-in global state management, exposing hooks like useGlobal and useDispatch as well as class component support via this.global and a @reactn decorator. It aims to make global state feel like native React state without third-party boilerplate.

Use cases

• manage global state in react apps without redux
• share state between react components with hooks
• replace redux with simpler global state
• use global reducers in react function components
• add global state to react class components
• avoid boilerplate in react state management

When to choose

• you want global state that feels like native React useState/useReducer
• you maintain a legacy React codebase with class components
• you want a minimal, zero-boilerplate alternative to Redux

When to avoid

• you need a actively maintained library - the last release was 2023 and development has stalled
• you need middleware, devtools, or a large ecosystem around your state management
• you are starting a new project where Redux Toolkit, Zustand, or Jotai are better supported
