Getting Started

Learn how to use custom React hooks in your projects. A comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing hooks effectively.

What are Custom Hooks?

Custom hooks are reusable functions that encapsulate stateful logic in React. They allow you to extract component logic into reusable functions, following React's hooks rules and conventions.

Key Principle: Custom hooks must start with "use" and can call other hooks.

How to Use These Hooks

Simply copy the hook code from any page and paste it into your project. Each hook is self-contained and ready to use:

Step 1: Create a hooks folder

Terminalbash
jsx

Step 2: Copy the hook code

Browse the hooks in the sidebar, find one you need, and copy its code into a new file.

Step 3: Import and use

Best Practices

✓ Follow the Rules of Hooks

Always call hooks at the top level of your component, never inside loops, conditions, or nested functions.

✓ Customize for Your Needs

These hooks are templates. Feel free to modify them to fit your specific use cases and requirements.

✓ Test Your Hooks

When using hooks in production, ensure they're properly tested with tools like React Testing Library.

✓ Keep Dependencies Updated

Some hooks may require additional libraries (like Framer Motion). Make sure to install and update them as needed.
