How I Use Zustand in TejFlow to Keep the UI Simple and Clean ?

In TejFlow, I try to keep the frontend as clean and lightweight as possible.
The app has dashboards, filters, document views, client selectors, and several UI sections that need to stay in sync — and early on, I ran into a familiar React issue:

➡️ React state + Context was getting messy way too fast.

Filters weren’t synced across the dashboard, some components re-rendered more than they should, and the code started feeling heavier than the simplicity I wanted for TejFlow.

That’s when I switched to Zustand, a small state-management library that instantly made everything more predictable and much easier to maintain.

🐻 Why Zustand Fits TejFlow

For a project like TejFlow, I don’t need a huge state-management framework.
What I need is something:

• simple
• predictable
• easy to maintain
• fast
• and flexible enough for dashboard behavior

Zustand does exactly that.

It gives me global state without the boilerplate, and it lets different parts of the dashboard stay in sync without passing props everywhere.

🧠 A Real Example From TejFlow

One example is the certificate filters.

Multiple components use the same filter:

• certificates table
• Excel generator
• sync history
• sidebar stats

Instead of lifting state up across three or four parent components, I just created a small Zustand store:

import { create } from "zustand";

export const useFilters = create(set => ({
  dateRange: null,
  setDateRange: (value) => set({ dateRange: value }),
}));

🎯 The Impact on the Project

Using Zustand inside TejFlow gave me:

• a smoother dashboard

• fewer re-renders

• clean separation of UI logic

• no giant Context files

• no prop drilling

• a codebase that’s much easier to extend

For a project like TejFlow, where the UI needs to be simple and efficient, Zustand ended up being the perfect balance between power and minimalism.
