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
jsxStep 2: Copy the hook code

jsxBest 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.
