React Hooks have revolutionized how we write React components, but they come with their own set of best practices and potential pitfalls.
useEffect Dependencies
One of the most common mistakes is forgetting to include dependencies in the useEffect array. This can lead to stale closures and unexpected behavior.
Custom Hooks for Reusability
Create custom hooks to encapsulate stateful logic that can be shared across components. This promotes code reuse and maintainability.
Performance Considerations
Use useMemo and useCallback judiciously. Don't optimize prematurely, but be aware of when these hooks can help prevent unnecessary re-renders.
