React useState explored

Programming can be a challenging and isolating experience, especially for beginners who are just starting out or struggling to improve. It's easy to fall into a self-doubt mode and question whether you are cut out for this field. But, just like anything worth doing, it takes time, effort, and patience.

One way to combat these struggles is by connecting with others in the programming community. Online communities like DEV provide a space for programmers to share their work, ask for feedback and support, and gain the encouragement they need to stay motivated and continue learning.

Speaking of learning, let's take a look at an example of a function component in React that renders a list of names using the useState hook. It has an array of initial names called list and a state variable name that is used to add new names to the list. The component also has an input field and a button that when clicked, calls the addName function which adds the name in the input field to the list and clears the input field. The names are rendered in an unordered list and each item in the list has a unique key. This took me a long time to understand it and reproduce without references.

Remember, everyone starts somewhere and the journey to becoming a better programmer is not a straight path. It's full of ups and downs, but it's through these struggles that we grow and learn. So, don't give up, keep pushing through the hard times, and know that you are not alone. There's a community out there that understands your struggles and is here to support you every step of the way.
