Mastering React Hooks for Cleaner Code

React Hooks, introduced in React 16.8, revolutionized how we write React components by allowing us to use state and other React features without writing a class. This article delves into some of the most commonly used hooks and best practices for using them effectively.

Key Hooks:

• useState: For managing local component state.
• useEffect: For handling side effects like data fetching or subscriptions.
• useContext: For accessing context without prop drilling.
• useReducer: For more complex state logic.
• useCallback and useMemo: For performance optimizations.

Understanding how and when to use these hooks can significantly improve the quality of your React code, making it more modular, reusable, and easier to test. We will also cover custom hooks, which allow you to extract component logic into reusable functions.
