Simplify immutable data structures in useReducer with Immer

Hey there!

When dealing with complex state logic in React, useReducer is a saviour. It provides an excellent API for handling state updates when the state involves multiple sub-values, or one element of your state relies on the value of another element of your state to update.

But dealing with deeply nested objects in a useReducer can sometimes get tricky and hard to read because you have to return a new reference whenever you need to trigger a re-render.

So in this article, we explore how Immer lets you solve that problem and significantly simplifies and reduces the code you need to write for your reducers.
