Friend: Hey, I've heard about these things called React hooks. What are they all about?
You: Hey! React hooks are pretty cool. They're a way to make your React components even better, especially the functional ones. You know how we used to manage state and other things in class components? Well, hooks make it super easy to do the same stuff in functional components.
Friend: Oh, that sounds useful. But what's this "useState" hook I keep hearing about?
You: Good question! "useState" is one of the most popular hooks. It's like a tool that helps you keep track of data within your component. So, you can store and update values like numbers, text, or whatever you need. It's like having a little notebook for your component to remember things.
Friend: Nice! And I also heard about the "useEffect" hook. What's that for?
You: "useEffect" is handy too. It's like a friend who watches over your component and says, "Hey, do something when this or that happens!" You can use it to fetch data from a server, update the page when things change, or do other tasks whenever your component needs to react to something.
Friend: Got it! One last thing - what are custom hooks?
You: Custom hooks are like custom-made tools for your components. You can create your own hooks with specific logic that you want to reuse in different parts of your app. They make your code clean and organized, and you can share them with your developer buddies too.
Friend: That sounds awesome! Thanks for explaining .
You: No problem, buddy! React hooks can make your coding life easier, and I'm always here to help you out with tech stuff. Let's dive into some cool React projects soon!
