Hooks allow you to use features such as state, lifecycle methods, and context in functional components, which previously could only be used in class components. This can make your code more organized, easy to understand and also allows you to share stateful logic across multiple components.
Here are some examples of hooks:
useState
: Allows you to add state to a functional component. It returns an array with two elements, the current state and a function to update it.
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
useEffect
: Allows you to run side-effects, such as fetching data, after the component has rendered. It has the same behavior as componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, and componentWillUnmount combined.useEffect(() => { document.title = `You clicked ${count} times`; }, [count]);
useContext
: Allows you to access the context without having to pass props down manually through multiple levels of components.const theme = useContext(ThemeContext);
