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.

Summary

In this chapter, we developed our own blog application from scratch! We started with a mock-up, then created static components to resemble it. Afterward, we implemented Hooks, to allow for dynamic behavior. Throughout the chapter, we learned how to deal with local and global states, using Hooks. Furthermore, we learned how to use multiple Hooks, and in which components to define Hooks and store state. We also learned how to solve common use cases, such as handling input fields with the use of Hooks.

In the next chapter, we are going to learn about the useReducer Hook, which allows us to deal with certain state changes more easily. Furthermore, we are going to learn about the useEffect Hook, which allows us to run code with side effects.
