Introduction to React Hooks

React Hooks are a new addition to React that allow you to use state and other React features without writing a class. They provide a more functional approach to building components, making your code cleaner and easier to understand.

What are Hooks?

Hooks are functions that let you 'hook into' React state and lifecycle features from function components. The most commonly used hooks are useState and useEffect.

Hooks enable functional components to manage state effectively.

Using useState

The useState hook allows you to add state to your functional components. It returns an array with two elements: the current state and a function to update it. This makes managing state in your components straightforward and intuitive.
