please I have a question about React ::

is learning redux necessary for a React developer even though React 16+ introduces
hooks like useReducer that works similarly to redux ?
I really really find redux very complex and confusing to learn...

Then learn the new thing

Redux is good if you are building a large app that has plenty state props.

I can teach you an easy way to use redux.

Tbh it depends on what your team adopts but have an idea to be on the safer side. You can try to learn redux toolkit, it simplifies a lot of things. Search YouTube for tutorials.

Thanks! but I prefer video tutorials.
it will be helpful if you recommend a YouTube video link that clearly explained all the basics of redux at once ...

Learning redux is actually quite important because redux and its likes, flux etc are used in most projects for app wide state management.

The useReducer hook cannot do the same job, maybe you wanted to mention react context api which allows you to use createContext and useContext for state management.

The context api can be used and paired with useReducer to manage app wide state, but even the react docs mentions that the context api is not suitable for frequently changing state. So most apps still use redux/flux/etc.

I'll encourage you to take the time to learn redux, then add redux toolkit to simplify the implementation especially when working with side effects.

Wishing you all the best in your dev journey!

It appears to be complex at first, but when u go further, u will find out it's actually easy. Try the netnija on YouTube, he teaches from scratch. Thank me later
