Why Redux? (or: Refactor to use Hooks+Context)

[dotansimha]

It there a reason to use Redux? It seems like there is a mixup of Redux state, hooks and props passing across this repo. It could be simplified by using hooks for most cases, and use React context to manage state and share it across components.
I know hooks doesn't completely replace Redux and state, but in this case, and in small apps, it could simplify things.

I can help with improving it if the maintainers are ok with it :)

suggestion: rename the issue to "refactor to use hooks"
your title opens a discussion we all had many times, "why not mobx" , "why not context"?

IMO this would be a redundant effort.

@kaminskypavel It's always depends on how big you project is and what are the needs of it.
I agree with you in this case, here is should be refactored to use Hooks and Context when possible. The reason I asked "Why Redux?" is because I wanted to understand what were the reasons to choose it - are there any plans to extend the app to do more? or maybe something we don't know about in the roadmap?
