useReducer not persisting state between routes in a Next.js application
I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm stuck trying to I'm not sure how to approach I'm integrating two systems and I need some guidance on I'm experiencing an issue where my component state managed by `useReducer` seems to reset every time I navigate between routes in my Next.js application... I'm using Next.js version 12.1 and my state looks something like this: ```javascript import React, { useReducer, useEffect } from 'react'; const initialState = { count: 0 }; const reducer = (state, action) => { switch (action.type) { case 'increment': return { count: state.count + 1 }; case 'decrement': return { count: state.count - 1 }; default: return state; } }; export default function Counter() { const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialState); return ( <div> <p>Count: {state.count}</p> <button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'increment' })}>Increment</button> <button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: 'decrement' })}>Decrement</button> </div> ); } ``` I have this `Counter` component on multiple pages, and the counter resets to 0 whenever I switch pages. I've tried lifting the state up to a context provider, but I still see the same behavior. I also verified that the `Counter` component is not being unmounted when I navigate, which I believe is why I expected the state to persist. Iām currently using the `next/link` for navigation, and I checked that there are no key props causing remounts. I also confirmed that there is no logic that resets the state in the reducer itself. Has anyone encountered similar behavior or can suggest how to keep the state persistent across route changes? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! For reference, this is a production application. I'd be grateful for any help. I'm using Javascript LTS in this project. Thanks for any help you can provide! This is happening in both development and production on CentOS. Thanks for your help in advance! I've been using Javascript for about a year now. Any advice would be much appreciated.
