# Zustand and React Context

**[TkDodo](https://daily.dev/sources/tkdodo)** · [@tkdodo](https://daily.dev/tkdodo) · 6 min read · 100 upvotes · 4 comments

## Summary

Zustand is a simple and fast library for global client-state management. However, using global stores in Zustand can have drawbacks, such as difficulty initializing the store with props, complex testing, and lack of reusability. To solve these issues, React Context can be used to share the store instance while keeping the store values isolated. By combining Zustand with React Context, it becomes easier to initialize the store with props, simplify testing, and achieve component encapsulation and reusability.
