reactjsHow can I use ReactJS Hooks to build a custom component?


ReactJS Hooks are a powerful tool for building custom components. Hooks allow you to use state and other React features without writing a class. To use ReactJS Hooks to build a custom component, you can use the useState() hook to declare a state variable, and the useEffect() hook to update the state variable. Here is an example of how to build a custom component with ReactJS Hooks:

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

const MyCustomComponent = () => {
  const [myState, setMyState] = useState(0);

  useEffect(() => {
    setMyState(myState + 1);
  }, [myState]);

  return (
    <div>
      <p>My state is {myState}</p>
    </div>
  );
};

export default MyCustomComponent;

This example will render a component that displays the value of the myState variable, which is initially set to 0, and increases by 1 each time the component is rendered.

The code consists of the following parts:

  1. import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; - This imports the useState and useEffect hooks from the React library.
  2. const [myState, setMyState] = useState(0); - This declares a state variable called myState and assigns it an initial value of 0.
  3. useEffect(() => { setMyState(myState + 1); }, [myState]); - This hook will run each time the component is rendered, and will update the myState variable by adding 1 to its current value.
  4. <p>My state is {myState}</p> - This will render the value of the myState variable.
