React useReducer for complex state management

问题

Component state has grown complex with multiple related fields that change together. useState is getting unwieldy with many separate setters. Need predictable state transitions and easier debugging.

解决方案

Replace multiple useState calls with useReducer for related state: <div class="highlight"><pre><code>type SearchState = { query: string; results: Trace[]; status: 'idle' | 'loading' | 'success' | 'error'; error: string | null; page: number; }; type SearchAction = | { type: 'SET_QUERY'; payload: string } | { type: 'SEARCH_START' } | { type: 'SEARCH_SUCCESS'; payload: { results: Trace[]; page: number } } | { type: 'SEARCH_ERROR'; payload: string } | { type: 'RESET' }; const initialState: SearchState = { query: '', results: [], status: 'idle', error: null, page: 1, }; function searchReducer(state: SearchState, action: SearchAction): SearchState { switch (action.type) { case 'SET_QUERY': return { ...state, query: action.payload }; case 'SEARCH_START': return { ...state, status: 'loading', error: null }; case 'SEARCH_SUCCESS': return { ...state, status: 'success', results: action.payload.results, page: action.payload.page }; case 'SEARCH_ERROR': return { ...state, status: 'error', error: action.payload, results: [] }; case 'RESET': return initialState; default: return state; } } function SearchComponent() { const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(searchReducer, initialState); const handleSearch = async () => { dispatch({ type: 'SEARCH_START' }); try { const results = await searchTraces(state.query); dispatch({ type: 'SEARCH_SUCCESS', payload: { results, page: 1 } }); } catch (err) { dispatch({ type: 'SEARCH_ERROR', payload: err instanceof Error ? err.message : 'Search failed' }); } }; return ( <div> <input value={state.query} onChange={e => dispatch({ type: 'SET_QUERY', payload: e.target.value })} /> {state.status === 'loading' && <Spinner />} {state.status === 'error' && <Error message={state.error} />} {state.results.map(trace => <TraceCard key={trace.id} trace={trace} />)} </div> ); } </code></pre></div> Use <code>useReducer</code> when: state has multiple sub-values that change together, next state depends on previous state, or when state transitions need to be explicit and testable. Use <code>useState</code> for independent simple values.
