React Hooks Overview

5.
What is React Hooks?
❖ Hooks are the new feature introduced in the React 16.8 version.
❖ It allows you to use state and other React features without writing a class.
❖ Hooks are the functions which "hook into" React state and lifecycle
features from function components.
❖ It does not work inside classes.

6.
Types of Hooks

7.
Types
➢ useState Hooks
➢ useEffect Hook
➢ useRef Hook
➢ useCallback Hook
➢ useMemo Hook
➢ useContext Hook
➢ useReducer Hook
Built-In Hooks :
Custom Hooks :
➢ You can create your own custom hooks if you have stateful logic that is needed by
multiple components in you application.

8.
useState() Hook

9.
useState Hook
❖ The useState() is a hook that allows you to have state variables in
functional components.
❖ Basically useSate is the ability to encapsulate local state in a functional
component.
❖ The useState hook is a special function that takes the initial state as an
argument and returns an array of two entries.
❖ You pass the initial state to this function and it returns a variable with the
current state value(not necessarily the initial state)and another function
to update this value.

10.
How to implement useState()
Import useState() :-
❖ To use the useState hook, we first need to import it into our component.
import { useState } from “react”;
Initialize useState() :-
❖ useState accepts an initial state and returns two values
➢ The current state
➢ A function that updates the state.
function FavoriteColor() {
const [ color, setColor ] = useState(“ ”);

11.
useEffect() Hook

12.
useEffect Hook
❖ The useEffect Hook allows you to perform side effects in your
components.
❖ Some examples of side effects are : fetching data, setting up subscriptions,
adding Event Listeners etc.
❖ The useEffect hook is a function that takes two arguments , a function
that needs to be called and an array dependency, where the second
argument is optional.
❖ useEffect runs on every render.
❖ useEffect( <function>, <dependency> ).

13.
How to implement useEffect()
Import useEffect() :-
❖ To use the useState hook, we first need to import it into our component.
import { useEffect } from “react”;
call useEffect() :-
❖ useEffect accepts two arguments
➢ The function to perform side effects
➢ And a dependency array.
function Component() {
useEffect( ()=>{ do something } , [ dependency ] )

14.
useContext() Hook

15.
useContext Hook
❖ React Context is a way to manage state globally.
❖ Context provides a way to pass data or state through the component tree
without having to pass props down manually through each nested
component.
Problem : State should be held by the highest parent component in the stack
that requires access to the state.
Suppose we have so many nested components, component at top and bottom requires the
access to the state. To do this without context, we have to manually pass the state as props to
each component in the tree. This is what we call prop drilling in react.

16.
useContext Hook
Solution : The solution is to create context.
To create context
❖ Import createContext from react : import { createContext } from “react”
❖ Initialize it :
const SomeContext = createContext()
Now let’s see the same example with context.

17.
useRef() Hook

18.
useRef Hook
❖ The useRef hook allows you to persist value between renders.
❖ It can be used to store value that when updated does not cause a re-render.
❖ The useRef hook is used to directly access a dom element.
❖ To use the hook you must first import it from react
import { useRef } from “react”
● You can pass the initial value at the time of initialization like:
const xyz = useRef(0)
● useRef() hook only returns one item, an object called current
● so the above initialization is like doing this :
const xyz = { current : 0 }

19.
useReducer() Hook

20.
useReducer Hook
❖ The useReducer hook is similar to the useState hook and is generally more
preferred over useState.
❖ If you have complex state-building logic, useReducer may be useful.
❖ The useReducer hook takes two arguments :
■ A reducer function
■ and Initial State
➢ And it returns two things
■ the current state and
■ a dispatch method

21.
How to implement useReducer Hook
1. Import it from react
import { useReducer } from “react”
2. Initialize it and pass the required two arguments
const [ state , dispatch ] = useReducer (<reducerFn> , <intitalState> )
3. Call the dispatch method when you want to update the state
dispatch( type: <actionType>, <other required argument> )

22.
Custom Hooks

23.
Custom Hook
❖ Hooks are actually a reusable function.
❖ So If there is a component logic that need to be shared among multiple
components , then we can extract that logic and create a custom hook that
can be used by all the required components.
❖ A custom hook start with use as prefix like we have for Built-in hooks
(useState and useEffect etc.). for Example : useFetch()
Let’s see an Example for better understanding.
