The Hooks in React

Hi Coders!!!

The last week I posted in my Linkedin about the hooks in javascript and react in spanish.

I decided to create a post in english and then a series of post to explain in more details about the most used hooks in react.

So Let's check!!

The hooks are functions in javascript to create/access to the state and lifecycles of react components.

The hooks must use which these two rules:

  • Must be called on the top level of the app.
  • Must call in functions or in other customized hooks of react.

The most common hooks in react:

  • useState
  • useEffect
  • useContext
  • useRef
  • useReducer
  • useLayoutEffect
  • useMemo
  • useCallback

Finally we also have the way to create our custom hooks

I will have a link to check in details each one, it is in official react documentation.
