Right, I got my "library with x in the name" screwed up.
I've found vuex much more pleasant to work with than straight redux. I wish Facebook would just come out with an "official stack" already and put something on top of plain Redux to make it more programmer ergonomic.
Axios is a http client library, not state management library, you're thinking of Vuex. That being said, I don't know why the author associates Axios with React ecosystem, it's just a library you can use with any of the client frameworks.
