React Hooks: A Complete Guide
React Hooks revolutionized how we write React components. Let's explore the most important hooks and their use cases.
useState: Managing State
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
useEffect: Side Effects
useEffect(() => {
document.title = `Count: ${count}`;
}, [count]);
useContext: Sharing State
Access context values without prop drilling.
useReducer: Complex State Logic
Manage complex state transitions with a reducer function.
Custom Hooks
Create reusable logic by building your own hooks.
Best Practices
- Always call hooks at the top level
- Only call hooks from React functions
- Use ESLint plugin for hooks
- Keep effects focused and simple
Conclusion
React Hooks make functional components more powerful and easier to understand.
