With React 16.8 came the release of Hooks, which, along with other great functions, provides a way for function components to have a state! In my article Managing State with React Hooks I go over how to use the hooks useState and useReducer to mana...

Really nice article. I myself really love using Hooks and like using the Context API for shared state management.

I also think it is nice to mention that even if you're not using all the properties from the Context value, all the components that are using the useContext hook will still be re-rendered after dispatching any action even if you're not "listening" to the property your action changed. Because of that I don't think it is fair comparing using this implementation instead of state management libraries (that uses selectors).

Very helpful article 👏🏼

React hooks is one of the best things that happened to Reactjs. Thanks for sharing this.

Great article, Sabin. 👏

The hyperlink from "Managing State with React Hooks" is pointing to your old blog. Please update it.

Thanks!

And good catch, I'd copied that text from a post on my old blog and the link came with it. Should be updated to the new post 👍

Thanks Sabin Adams for sharing..Hooks are my favorite companion this week! Loved your explanations.
