React Hooks allow you to use state and other React features without writing a class. This article explores the various hooks, such as useState, useEffect, and useContext, and how they can be used to simplify your code and make your components more reusable and readable. Hooks were introduced in React 16.8 and have since revolutionized how developers write functional components. useState allows you to add state to functional components, while useEffect lets you perform side effects such as data fetching and subscriptions. useContext simplifies state management by allowing you to share state across your components without prop drilling. We’ll also look at custom hooks and how you can create your own to encapsulate logic that can be reused across your application. By the end of this article, you’ll have a solid understanding of React Hooks and be able to write cleaner, more efficient React code. Whether you're building a simple component or a complex application, hooks will help you manage state and side effects more effectively.
