Zustand State Not Updating in Components

Zustand state changes in store but components don't re-render. Updates work in other components but not in specific one. Selector hook returns stale data.

Zustand uses selector pattern to optimize re-renders. Improper selectors or store structure can cause missed updates.

Common Causes

  1. Selector returns new object on every call (loses reference equality)
  2. Not using selector hook, reading store directly
  3. Store not properly exported or imported
  4. Selector comparing wrong state property
  5. Async state updates not properly awaited

How to Fix It

Use Zustand selectors correctly:

import create from 'zustand';

const useStore = create((set) => ({
  count: 0,
  increment: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count + 1 }))
}));

// In component
const count = useStore((state) => state.count);
const increment = useStore((state) => state.increment);

// Avoid - creates new object
const { count, increment } = useStore();
