"Why React Hooks Changed the Way We Code?" 🎣

Before 2019, React developers relied on class components for managing state and lifecycle methods. But then, React Hooks arrived and changed everything!

🔹 No More Class Components – With Hooks, you can use state and lifecycle features in functional components, making code cleaner and easier to read.

🔹 Simplified State Management – useState makes managing state super easy, while useEffect handles side effects without complex class methods.

🔹 Reusability & Performance – Custom Hooks allow you to reuse logic across components, making your code efficient and organized.

🔹 Less Code, More Power – No need to write lengthy class-based code! Hooks reduce complexity and improve readability.

🔥 Final Thought: Hooks made React development faster, simpler, and more fun. If you’re still using class components, it’s time to switch! 🚀

What’s your favorite React Hook? Let’s discuss in the comments! 😊
