React Hooks TL;DR

If you want to know what React Hooks are about but don’t want to learn them yet, this is for you.

• coming in the next minor release (between now and March 2019)
• hooks are 9 new functions you can import {} from 'react'
• call hooks inside function components to add things like state or lifecycle methods
• you can extract hook calls from the function component to another function, making your own custom hooks (this is the best part, it enables better sepatation of concerns and reusability)
• hooks are optional and compatible with your current code
• there’s an alpha version available if you want to try them
• the official docs are very good, start there
