State Management with useState

State is data that belongs to a component and can change over time. When state changes, React re-renders the component to reflect the new state.

useState Hook

The useState hook is the primary way to add state to functional components. It returns an array with two elements:

  • 1. The current state value

  • 2. A function to update the state


State Updates


  • • State updates are asynchronous

  • • State updates trigger re-renders

  • • Multiple state updates in the same function may be batched

  • • State should be updated using the setter function, not by direct mutation


Best Practices


  • • Use descriptive state variable names

  • • Initialize state with appropriate default values

  • • Use functional updates when the new state depends on the previous state

  • • Consider splitting complex state into multiple useState calls
