Overview of this book

Developed by Facebook, React is a popular library for building impressive user interfaces. React extends its capabilities to mobile platforms using the React Native framework and integrates with popular web and mobile tools to build scalable applications. React Projects is your guide to learning React development by using modern development patterns and integrating React with powerful web tools, such as GraphQL, Expo, and React 360. You'll start building a real-world project right from the first chapter and get hands-on with developing scalable applications as you advance to building more complex projects. Throughout the book, you'll use the latest versions of React and React Native to explore features such as routing, Context, and Hooks on multiple platforms, which will help you build full-stack web and mobile applications efficiently. Finally, you'll get to grips with unit testing with Jest and end-to-end testing with Cypress to build test-driven apps. By the end of this React book, you'll have developed the skills necessary to start building scalable React apps across web and mobile platforms.

Working with custom Hooks

Hooks are a way to use React features for creating local state or to watch for updates in that state using life cycles. But Hooks are also a way to reuse logic that you create for your own React application. This is a pattern that is popular among a lot of libraries that create functionalities for React, such as react-router.

Note

Before React introduced Hooks themselves, it was a popular pattern to create Higher-Order Components (HOCs) to reuse logic. HOCs are advanced features in React that focus on the reusability of components. The React documentation described them as follows: "A higher-order component is a function that takes a component and returns a new component."

In the first part of this section, we'll create our first custom Hook, which uses logic to retrieve data from the data source that we created in the previous section.

Creating custom Hooks

We already saw that we can reuse components in React, but the next step...
