React Hooks Basics Wrap Up

You learned how React components can manage data and respond to changes over time using hooks.

You explored the useState hook, which allows functional components to store and update state. State changes trigger re-renders, making it possible to build interactive interfaces such as counters and form inputs.

You also learned about the useEffect hook, which is used to handle side effects. Effects run after rendering and are commonly used for tasks like fetching data, logging values, or synchronizing with external services.

You saw how useState and useEffect work together: state controls what is displayed, while effects control when side-effect logic runs. This combination forms the foundation of most real-world React applications.
