What are React Hooks and how do I use them?

React Hooks are functions that let you use state and other React features without writing a class. You can use them in functional components.

Can you give me an example of using the useState hook?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import React, { useState } from 'react';

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

  return (
    <div>
      <p>You clicked {count} times</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Click me</button>
    </div>
  );
}

What other hooks are commonly used?

Other commonly used hooks include useEffect for side effects, useContext for context API, and useReducer for state management.

Are there any best practices for using hooks?

Yes! Some best practices include using hooks at the top level of your component, not calling them conditionally, and keeping your hooks organized.
