React Hooks Every Developer Should Master

1️⃣ useState

The most fundamental React Hook for managing state in functional components.
✨ What does it do?
Lets you add local state to components.
Returns an array: the current state value and a function to update it.

💡 How to use:

const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

📌 Example Use Cases:
Building a counter.
Toggling UI elements (like modals).
Managing form input fields.

2️⃣ useEffect

Your go-to hook for managing side effects in React.
✨ What are side effects?
Things like fetching data, manually updating the DOM, or subscribing to events.
useEffect ensures these happen after rendering.

💡 How to use:

useEffect(() => { 
  fetchData(); 
}, [dependency]);

📌 Key Features:
Dependencies Array: Controls when the effect runs.
Empty array []: Runs once (on mount).
No array: Runs on every render.
[dependency]: Runs when dependencies change.
Cleanup logic: Perfect for unsubscribing to events.

3️⃣ useContext

Say goodbye to prop drilling! With useContext, you can access and share global state seamlessly across your app.
✨ What does it do?
Provides a way to pass data through the component tree without manually passing props.

💡 How to use:

const user = useContext(UserContext);

📌 Example Use Cases:
Theme management (dark/light mode).
Authentication (storing user info globally).
Sharing data like language settings across components.
These 3 hooks form the core foundation for modern React development.
