React Hooks 🪝

React Hooks are a powerful feature in React that allow you to use state and other React features in functional components. They provide a way to “hook into” React state and lifecycle methods from functional components.

Example of Using React Hooks: 🔍 

import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

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

  useEffect(() => {
    // This effect will run once when the component mounts
    console.log('Mounted');
  }, []);

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

In this example, we’re using the useState hook to create a state variable count and a function setCount to update it. We’re also using the useEffect hook to run a side effect when the component mounts. 🎉

React Context 🌐

React Context is a way to share data between components without having to pass props down manually. It provides a way to create a centralized store for your application’s state.

Example of Using React Context: 🔧 

import { createContext, useState } from 'react';

const ThemeContext = createContext();

function ThemeProvider({ children }) {
  const [theme, setTheme] = useState('light');

  return (
    <ThemeContext.Provider value={{ theme, setTheme }}>
      {children}
    </ThemeContext.Provider>
  );
}

function App() {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider>
      <div>
        <h1>Theme: {theme}</h1>
        <button onClick={() => setTheme('dark')}>Toggle Theme</button>
      </div>
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}

In this example, we’re creating a ThemeContext and a ThemeProvider component that wraps our application. We’re using the useState hook to create a state variable theme and a function setTheme to update it. We’re then using the ThemeContext to share this state with our components. 💻

Conclusion 🎉

Today, you’ve learned about advanced React topics such as React Hooks and React Context. These features provide a way to manage state and share data between components in a more efficient and scalable way.
