More specifically, to quote the Redux FAQ entry at http://redux.js.org/docs/faq/OrganizingState.html#organizing-state-only-redux-state http://redux.js.org/docs/faq/OrganizingState.html#organizing... : > There is no “right” answer for this. Some users prefer to keep every single piece of data in Redux, to maintain a fully serializable and controlled version of their application at all times. Others prefer to keep non-critical or UI state, such as “is this dropdown currently open”, inside a component's internal state. > Using local component state is fine. As a developer, it is your job to determine what kinds of state make up your application, and where each piece of state should live. Find a balance that works for you, and go with it.
