Implementing an in-memory state container

Efficiently managing interactions with external APIs is absolutely crucial in modern web development. An in-memory state container allows you to persist specific objects for an application lifetime unless configured otherwise. When you receive a comprehensive data object from the API upon the initial call, rather than fetching this data anew for every page transition, an in-memory state container facilitates the smooth transfer of the entire object throughout the various stages and pages of the application. Furthermore, an in-memory state container proves invaluable during multi-stage setup processes, allowing the current state of a complex setup object to be persistently carried forward without loss or repeated external calls.

Let’s implement a container where we will persist event information and display it after redirecting a user to an event details page.
