The introduction of React Hooks has fundamentally changed how we build React applications, exposing state and lifecycle functions beyond class-based components. Functional components are now first-class citizens of React, making up the bulk of React applications.

While React Hooks are incredibly powerful, it’s also easy to misuse them, introducing unexpected behavior or bugs into your code.

Let’s take a look at some best practices for using React Hooks to ensure you’re writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code.

  • Use Hooks as They’re Supposed to Be Used
  • There’s an ESLint Plug-In for React Hooks — Use It
  • useState Can Be Used With Objects Too!
  • Custom Hooks Are Awesome!
  • Don’t Use Prop Drilling
