How to Create a Simple Counter Application with React Hooks

The useState hook in React is a powerful feature that allows developers to manage state within functional components. In this challenge, we use the useState hook to create a simple counter application that increments or decrements the count when a user clicks a button.

To get started, we import React and the useState hook, and define a functional component called Counter. Inside the Counter component, we initialize a state variable called count to 0 using the useState hook, and define two functions called handleIncrement and handleDecrement that respectively increment and decrement the count state variable when called.

In the return statement, we display the current count value using an h1 tag, and provide two buttons that call the handleIncrement and handleDecrement functions when clicked. This allows the user to increment or decrement the count by clicking the respective buttons. To view the code for this counter application, check out my GitHub repository.

Overall, the useState hook in React is a powerful tool for managing state in functional components. By using the useState hook to create a simple counter application, we can see how easy it is to manage state and handle user input in React. This challenge is a great starting point for anyone who is new to React or just getting started with hooks. With a solid understanding of the useState hook, you can build more complex applications with ease. So give it a try and see what you can create!
