This PR removes Zustand from the react-router-starter and replaces it with React's built-in state management using Context API and useReducer.

Changes Made

🗑️ Removed

  • zustand dependency from package.json
  • todo-store.ts file
  • Old Zustand-based tests

✨ Added

  • todo-context.tsx with React Context + useReducer implementation
  • TodoProvider component to wrap the application
  • Comprehensive tests for the new context-based state management
  • @testing-library/react for component testing

🔄 Updated

  • root.tsx to wrap the app with TodoProvider
  • home.tsx to import from the new context
  • README.md to reflect the change from Zustand to React Context

19-45: Consider varying the timestamps for more realistic initial data.

The initial todos all have identical createdAt and updatedAt timestamps since they're created in the same execution cycle. For more realistic sample data and better testing scenarios, consider adding some time variation.

-    {
-      id: '1',
-      text: 'Learn React Router 7',
-      completed: false,
-      createdAt: new Date(),
-      updatedAt: new Date()
-    },
-    {
-      id: '2',
-      text: 'Set up Tailwind CSS',
-      completed: true,
-      createdAt: new Date(),
-      updatedAt: new Date()
-    },
-    {
-      id: '3',
-      text: 'Build a todo app',
-      completed: false,
-      createdAt: new Date(),
-      updatedAt: new Date()
-    }
+    {
+      id: '1',
+      text: 'Learn React Router 7',
+      completed: false,
+      createdAt: new Date(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000), // 1 day ago
+      updatedAt: new Date(Date.now() - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
+    },
+    {
+      id: '2',
+      text: 'Set up Tailwind CSS',
+      completed: true,
+      createdAt: new Date(Date.now() - 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000), // 2 hours ago
+      updatedAt: new Date(Date.now() - 30 * 60 * 1000) // 30 minutes ago
+    },
+    {
+      id: '3',
+      text: 'Build a todo app',
+      completed: false,
+      createdAt: new Date(),
+      updatedAt: new Date()
+    }

114-134: Consider memoizing the context value to prevent unnecessary re-renders.

The contextValue object is recreated on every render, which will cause all consuming components to re-render even when the state hasn't changed. Consider using useMemo to optimize performance.

+import { createContext, useContext, useReducer, useMemo, type ReactNode } from 'react';

 export function TodoProvider({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
   const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(todoReducer, initialState);

-  const contextValue: TodoContextType = {
-    ...state,
-    addTodo: (text: string) => dispatch({ type: 'ADD_TODO', payload: text }),
-    toggleTodo: (id: string) => dispatch({ type: 'TOGGLE_TODO', payload: id }),
-    deleteTodo: (id: string) => dispatch({ type: 'DELETE_TODO', payload: id }),
-    updateTodo: (id: string, text: string) => 
-      dispatch({ type: 'UPDATE_TODO', payload: { id, text } }),
-    setFilter: (filter: TodoFilter) => dispatch({ type: 'SET_FILTER', payload: filter }),
-    clearCompleted: () => dispatch({ type: 'CLEAR_COMPLETED' })
-  };
+  const contextValue: TodoContextType = useMemo(() => ({
+    ...state,
+    addTodo: (text: string) => dispatch({ type: 'ADD_TODO', payload: text }),
+    toggleTodo: (id: string) => dispatch({ type: 'TOGGLE_TODO', payload: id }),
+    deleteTodo: (id: string) => dispatch({ type: 'DELETE_TODO', payload: id }),
+    updateTodo: (id: string, text: string) => 
+      dispatch({ type: 'UPDATE_TODO', payload: { id, text } }),
+    setFilter: (filter: TodoFilter) => dispatch({ type: 'SET_FILTER', payload: filter }),
+    clearCompleted: () => dispatch({ type: 'CLEAR_COMPLETED' })
+  }), [state]);

8-8: LGTM! Clean import migration.

The import path update correctly points to the new React Context implementation while maintaining the same API interface, ensuring seamless transition from Zustand.

apps/todo-app/app/root.tsx (2)

4-4: LGTM! Proper context import.

The import correctly brings in the TodoProvider for React Context integration.


24-26: LGTM! Correct provider placement.

The TodoProvider is properly positioned at the root level, wrapping the Outlet to ensure all child routes have access to the todo context. This follows React Context best practices.

apps/todo-app/package.json (2)

26-26: LGTM! Appropriate testing library addition.

Adding @testing-library/react as a dev dependency is correct for testing the new React Context implementation. Version ^16.1.0 is compatible with React 19.


51-51: LGTM! Correct dependency retention.

Keeping the zod dependency is appropriate as it's used for form validation, not state management, and is unrelated to the Zustand migration.

README.md (3)

12-12: LGTM! Accurate feature description.

The feature list correctly reflects the migration from Zustand to React's built-in state management solution.


85-90: LGTM! Comprehensive state management documentation.

The state management section accurately describes the React Context + useReducer implementation, maintaining the same level of detail while reflecting the architectural change. The emphasis on "type-safe actions and state updates" is particularly valuable.


185-185: LGTM! Appropriate documentation link update.

The external link correctly points to React Context documentation, replacing the previous Zustand link to align with the new implementation.

apps/todo-app/app/lib/__tests__/todo-context.test.tsx (6)

6-11: LGTM! Appropriate test setup.

The crypto.randomUUID mock ensures consistent test behavior and predictable ID generation across test runs.


14-64: LGTM! Well-designed test component.

The TestComponent provides excellent coverage of all context functionality through a clean, testable interface. The conditional checks (e.g., todos.length > 0) prevent runtime errors during testing.


76-81: LGTM! Proper initial state verification.

The test correctly verifies the initial state with 3 todos and 'all' filter, establishing a baseline for subsequent operations.


83-92: LGTM! Comprehensive add todo test.

The test properly uses act() for state updates and verifies both the count increment and the specific todo creation with mocked UUID.


161-171: LGTM! Proper error boundary testing.

The test correctly verifies that the hook throws an error when used outside the provider, with appropriate console.error suppression to keep test output clean.


174-209: LGTM! Comprehensive utility function testing.

The getFilteredTodos tests cover all filter cases ('all', 'active', 'completed') with proper mock data and meaningful assertions. The test structure is clean and thorough.

apps/todo-app/app/lib/todo-context.tsx (5)

4-17: LGTM! Well-designed action types and state interface.

The action types comprehensively cover all todo operations with appropriate payload typing. The state interface is clean and minimal.


47-99: LGTM! Excellent reducer implementation.

The reducer correctly handles all action types with proper immutability, input validation (trimming), and timestamp management. The use of crypto.randomUUID() for ID generation is appropriate for modern browsers.


101-112: LGTM! Clean context type definition.

The context type effectively combines state and actions into a cohesive interface that maintains API compatibility with the previous Zustand implementation.


136-143: LGTM! Excellent custom hook implementation.

The hook provides proper error handling and maintains API compatibility with the previous Zustand implementation. The error message clearly guides developers to use the hook within the provider.


145-155: LGTM! Helper function maintains perfect API compatibility.

The filtering logic correctly handles all todo filter types and maintains the same API as the previous Zustand implementation.

💡 Verification agent

🧩 Analysis chain

Verify TodoStore import usage.

The import includes TodoStore type from the utils package, but this type doesn't appear to be used anywhere in the context implementation. Since this PR migrates away from Zustand, this import might be unnecessary.
