In this first chapter of the book, we started out by learning the fundamental principles of React and which types of components it provides. We then moved on to learning about common problems with class components, and using existing features of React, and how they break the fundamental principles. Next, we implemented a simple application using class components and function components with Hooks, in order to be able to compare the differences between the two solutions. As we found out, function components with Hooks are a much better fit for React's fundamental principles, as they do not suffer from the same problems as class components, and they make our code much more
concise and easy to understand! Finally, we got our first glimpse of the various Hooks that we are going to learn about throughout this book. After this chapter, the basics of React and React Hooks...

Overview of this book
React Hooks revolutionize how you manage state and effects in your web applications. They enable you to build simple and concise React.js applications, along with helping you avoid using wrapper components in your applications, making it easy to refactor code.
This React book starts by introducing you to React Hooks. You will then get to grips with building a complex UI in React while keeping the code simple and extensible. Next, you will quickly move on to building your first applications with React Hooks. In the next few chapters, the book delves into various Hooks, including the State and Effect Hooks. After covering State Hooks and understanding how to use them, you will focus on the capabilities of Effect Hooks for adding advanced functionality to React apps. You will later explore the Suspense and Context APIs and how they can be used with Hooks. Toward the concluding chapters, you will learn how to integrate Redux and MobX with React Hooks. Finally, the book will help you develop the skill of migrating your existing React class components, and Redux and MobX web applications to Hooks.
By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in building your own custom Hooks and effectively refactoring your React applications.
