Discussion on: The Definitive React Hooks Cheatsheet

[Paramanantham Harrison]

Thanks man. Are you sure about naming with ‘use’?
I don’t think it’s mandatory, you can create any named function as hooks. Probably this might be the recommended way same as how HOC are made with ‘with’ prefix

[Claudio Bernasconi]

It's a suggestion by the React team - a best practice to make the intent clear.

[Antonin J. (they/them)]

Interesting. I guess I haven't tested it but it's straight from their docs:

A custom Hook is a JavaScript function whose name starts with ”use” and that may call other Hooks

[Camilo Mejía]

The React team provide an ESLint plugin that prevents incorrect usage of hooks, but you must name them with use.
