Use hooks to transform your react native projects

React Native, since its introduction, has transformed and improved mobile app development and performance through features like hooks.
Hooks enable access to React state and lifecycle features in function components, overcoming the limitations of class components. They offer benefits such as enhanced code reusability, improved readability, smaller component sizes, easier state management, and improved testing.
Key React Native hooks include useState for managing component-specific states, useEffect for handling side effects, useContext for accessing context in functional components, and custom hooks for promoting code reusability by encapsulating common state logic.
These hooks have revolutionized React Native development by simplifying and optimizing the coding process.
Here's an example of how to use the useState hook in a functional component:


import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { View, Text, Button } from 'react-native';
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<View>
<Text>{count}</Text>
<Button title="Increment" onPress={() => setCount(count + 1)} />
</View>
);
}
export default Counter;

P.S.
Felt like doing an informative post as a first post, this is based on a more detailed blog post I made on my website, I don't know if I am allowed to share the link here but anyway, it's this
