Simple Custom Hook

Learn how to get started with React Hooks in this quick tutorial.

React Hooks are super useful to know, and can be a important new tool in your frontend development. Knowing how to create your very own Custom Hooks was for me like discovering React components all over again. The awesome thing about custom hooks is that you can re-use your hooks and write cleaner code.

In this tutorial we will make a custom hook that copies text to the clipboard when clicking a button.

This tutorial will include a React Hook that is:

  • Simple - it just copies text to the clipboard
  • Made from create-react-app
  • A modern React feature
  • It's reusable
  • It's expandable
  • No CSS!
