Task: Implement Zustand for State Management

This task is not related to any use case.

Objective:

Refactor our current state management solution to implement Zustand, aiming to streamline state management across the application with a more maintainable and efficient approach.

Description:

As our application grows in complexity, maintaining a clean and efficient state management system becomes crucial. We've decided to transition to Zustand due to its simplicity, flexibility, and performance benefits. This task involves refactoring our existing state management logic to adopt Zustand, ensuring that all state-related functionalities continue to work seamlessly while achieving better modularity and maintainability.

Task Breakdown:

1. Familiarize with Zustand: If you're not already familiar with Zustand, take some time to understand its concepts, API, and best practices. Zustand GitHub Repo and Documentation are good starting points.

2. Setup Zustand: Install Zustand in the project. Create a basic store as per our application's needs, ensuring it aligns with the Zustand best practices for structuring stores.

3. Refactor Existing State Logic: Identify all components/states managed by the current state management system. Refactor these one by one to use Zustand:

   • Migrate each state and its associated logic to Zustand stores.
   • Replace the current state management hooks/contexts with Zustand's useStore hooks in components.
   • Ensure that each piece of state maintains its reactivity and is updated across the app as expected.

4. Testing: Thoroughly test the application to ensure that all state-related functionalities are working as expected. This includes:

   • UI states update correctly.
   • Persistent states (if any) continue to work without any data loss.
   • No regression in performance or functionality.

5. Code Review and Documentation: Once the refactoring is complete, update any relevant documentation to reflect the use of Zustand. Submit the changes for code review, ensuring to highlight any architectural changes or decisions made during the refactoring process.

6. Deployment and Monitoring: After code review approval, merge the changes and monitor the application closely for any state management-related issues.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Zustand is properly implemented and configured in the project.
• All existing state management functionality is refactored to use Zustand without loss of features or performance.
• The application undergoes thorough testing, ensuring all components interact with the state as expected.
• Documentation is updated to reflect the new state management approach.
• The changes pass code review and are successfully merged and deployed without introducing new issues.
