How does useState differ from traditional class-based state?
In class components, state is managed using the this.state
object and this.setState()
method. With functional components and the useState hook, state is managed directly within the component function using the state variable and the function returned by useState to update it. This simplifies the syntax and makes state management more concise and readable.
Can you explain what the useState hook does in React Hooks?
The useState hook is a feature in React Hooks that allows you to add state to functional components. It creates state variables and manages their values within a functional component.
