Hooks are functions in React that let you use state and other React features without writing a class. They were introduced in React 16.8 to simplify the component logic and make it easier to share stateful logic between components.
Here are some key hooks in React:
-
useState: Allows you to add state to a functional component.
import React, { useState } from 'react';
function Example() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<div>
<p>You clicked {count} times</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Click me
</button>
</div>
);
}
