Everything you need to know about useState hook of React

A beginner's guide

Thread🧵👇

Hey👋

Hooks are powerful but confusing. Don't worry, I'll try to explain each hook in the easiest way in this thread series of React hooks

Let's start with useState, the most useful and simple hook in my opinion

Working with React hooks, first thing you need to do is to import the particular hook

It's quite easy👇

📌 import { useState } from "react";

useState hook takes a parameter as initial value of state and return an array having two values

- The first value is the current state
- The second value is the function that allow us to change our state

Let me show you the return value by printing it out on console👇

Now we know what useState hook return, it's time to destruct our value

const [currentState, setCurrentState] = useState(0);

🔹 currentState is the value of our state
🔹 setCurrentState is the function using which we can change our state value
