You may have noticed that React Hooks, introduced in the React’s 16.8.0 release, have been received by the web dev community very diversely. Some warmly embraced this new way to reuse stateful logic between components, while some strongly criticized it. One thing can be said for sure — React Hooks are an incredibly hot topic now. This is confirmed by the number of articles, tutorials, video courses, and project samples on the subject.
My goal is to briefly introduce to you this powerful concept (if you are not familiar with it yet) and show how it can be applied to building a simple analytical app. Note that we’ll focus more on getting a hands-on experience rather than on debating on the pros and cons of using Hooks.
