The <code>hook</code>.</p>https://meisinger.github.io/post/2020-03-04-creating-hooks/Wed, 04 Mar 2020 18:14:28 +0000https://meisinger.github.io/post/2020-03-04-creating-hooks/<p>So the <code>Hook</code> revolution is upon us and we have learned a little bit about <code>useState</code> and <code>useEffect</code>. With these two hooks alone we can get a lot of stuff done.</p>https://meisinger.github.io/post/2020-03-01-venture-into-the-unknown/Sun, 01 Mar 2020 19:04:17 +0000https://meisinger.github.io/post/2020-03-01-venture-into-the-unknown/<p>If you have been ignoring the Functional Component aspect of React and only working with Class Components, you might have missed the <code>Hook</code> revolution.</p> <p>One of the reasons why I focused on Class Components, and payed little attention to Fuctional Components, was the ability to &ldquo;hook&rdquo; into the <code>Component Lifecycle</code>. Most of the time I was living in three methods: <code>constructor</code>, <code>componentDidMount</code> and <code>componentWillUnmount</code> methods. Setting up my state in the <code>constructor</code>, making all of my subscription calls in <code>componentDidMount</code> and cleaning everything up in <code>componentWillUnmount</code>.</p>
