Understand the concept

Hooks were introduced in React 16.8 to allow functional components to use state and lifecycle features without class components.

Built-in Hooks like useState, useEffect, useMemo, useCallback, useRef, and useContext solve common development problems while keeping components simpler and more reusable.

02 / Implementation

Using useState

useState.tsx
import { useState } from "react";

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (
    <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
      Count: {count}
    </button>
  );
}
