One thing alot of people miss is that on useState in the setter you can actually pass a function to get the prev state value you for say updating a counter which is the correct way. For example setCount(prevCount => prevCount + 1). if you where to call setCount and try modify the value based on the current count value the state would be modified based on the value at that render time. If you call setCount(count + 1) twice it would only infact increase the value by one as both calls would get the prev rendered value and overwrite each other. Hope this helps

[@souvikchakraborty9900]

[@CST1992]

You want to know them, just in case you need them. I've been using React since 2019 and I have started with class components. They are, you can say, just a more explicit way of doing the same thing you are doing with hooks. For me it's backwards: instead of getting to use a separate function componentWillUnmount(), I have to remember that the function returned from useEffect() does the same thing.

[@AjeyChandhan]

[@nukemonk]

In addition to the *useImperativeHandle* hook: you can use this if you have both a *forwardRef* and a *useRef* in your component that you want both to be assign to the same element. You can use the *useImperativeHandle* hook to assign the regular *useRef* ref to the *forwardRef* ref. This is because you can't assign two refs to the same element.

[@McMurchie]

This was amazing, it took me over an hour to write down the notes so much knowledge

[@Euquila]

One thing to note about `useCallback` is that it isn't _just_ needed to improve performance. Sometimes, we need it because a useEffect depends on the function which can cause infinite loop scenarios. So basically, useCallback can save us from these infinite-loops!

[@michaelraring9473]

Yeah, but only if you include all functions/variables in your dependency array, like EsLint/TS wants you to do..

[@filipjnc]

To avoid bugs in your case you should rather use setCount(prev => prev + 1) instead of setCount(count + 1).

[@codeaperture]

True👍

[@arpansaha5638]

Can you elaborate on how this method results helps avoid bugs compared to the other method?

[@EpicKeyz]

@@arpansaha5638if you need to set state based on previous state, you should use a callback function that receives a previous state as the first argument

[@gerhard_adler]

@@arpansaha5638 Beacause if you run setCount(count + 1) twice very close to each other, count won't be updated for the second call. Meaning count will be added 1, instead of the expected 2. Meanwhile, if you use prev, React ensures the count is updated before the next call.

[@HenningGu]

[@mostinho7]

Done thanks React hooks can be used only at the top level inside the functional component function definition. Hooks: useState useEffect make sure to provide dependencies array, if no dependencies then pass empty array useEffect can have a cleanup function by returning a function from the useEffect callback, will be called when component un mounts useContext lets you share state from a parent component to child components without having to pass props down useRef use when you want to grab a reference to an html elements and programmatically. useContext lets I access the context from the context provider up the tree useReducer is a better alternative to useState as it allows you to dispatch events or actions from ui elements then handle these events in the reducer function. useReducer takes the reducer function which takes the state and the dispatched action so you can do a switch case in the reducer and handle them useMemo to cache computationally expensive values so that they aren’t recalculated on every render. Takes a dependency array like useEffect to decide when to recalculate the value useCallback is like useMemo but it caches an entire function definition. When you define a function in your component, that function gets redefined after every render. useMemo causes the return value to be cached, so the function isn’t run on every rerender but with useCallback the function isn’t redefined on every render. This is useful when ui elements have a reference to that function like if it’s an onclick handler. When that function is redefined the component that has reference to it will get rerendered and useCallback prevents this, it is useful when many ui elements have reference to that function useImperativeHandle
