Summary
Oof! That was a lot of theory for a programming book, right? However, even if you found it a little dry, I strongly believe this theoretical knowledge will be very useful for the next chapter. We have learned a little bit about the history of web development and about the motivations of the creators of both ReactJS and React Native. Knowing all of this will let us understand the ideas behind different state management solutions. In the next chapter, we will jump into the most basic way of managing state in a React Native app: with hooks and context.
