Hooks Pattern
Table of Contents
React 16.8 introduced a new feature called Hooks. Hooks make it possible to use React state and lifecycle methods, without having to use an ES2015 class component.
Although Hooks are not necessarily a design pattern, Hooks play a very important role in your application design. Many traditional design patterns can be replaced by Hooks.
When to Use
- Use this when you need to add state or lifecycle behavior to functional components
- This is helpful for extracting and reusing stateful logic across multiple components
- Use this instead of class components for cleaner, more composable code
