React Hooks

The function useState is a React Hooks!

As part of React 16.8, the Hooks were released to make it possible to use state, and other React features with function components.

We know useState is a Hook because it's name starts with use. All Hooks follow the same naming convention. If you want to create your own Hooks, you must follow the same convention.

We already explored useState. The next section will overview the useEffect Hook. These two functions are bar far the most commonly used Hooks. However, there are other Hooks built into React, and you can create your own Hooks too! Please consult the resources below.
