React Hooks was just announced today at React Conf 2018.
You can check the official documentation & also following article,
so I won’t go into it further.
I created a simple hook called react-use-localstorage, which lets you store state in Local Storage.
🚀 Prerequisite
You need to use following React versions.
- react : 16.7.0-alpha.0
- react-dom : 16.7.0-alpha.0
It’s bleeding edge and not recommended to use in production.
You can follow along on CodeSandbox.
⚒ How to use it
First, install the package, react-use-localstorage.
And use it in a “Functional Component”.
🏃 Working Demo
The demo shows that state is saved directly in local storage.
💫 Additional Context
The source code is available on GitHub with MIT license.
The post react-use-localstorage appeared first on Sung's Technical Blog.

why do you also save into state? for re-renders?
That's a great observation, Andreas.
It's to turn
<input />into a controlled component, which makesinput's state to be controlled by React (one source of truth for state)I like it!
