Learn to build reusable, composable hooks that will elevate your React applications to the next level.
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
function useLocalStorage(key, initialValue) {
const [value, setValue] = useState(() => {
const stored = localStorage.getItem(key);
return stored ? JSON.parse(stored) : initialValue;
});
useEffect(() => {
localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(value));
}, [key, value]);
return [value, setValue];
}

Learn how to create a powerful data fetching hook that handles loading states, errors, and caching automatically.
function UserProfile({ userId }) {
const { data, loading, error } = useFetch(
`https://api.example.com/users/${userId}`
);
if (loading) return <Spinner />;
if (error) return <Error message={error} />;

Experiment with custom hooks in real-time. Try our pre-built examples or create your own.
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
export function useLocalStorage(key, initialValue) {
// State to store our value
const [storedValue, setStoredValue] = useState(() => {
try {
// Get from local storage by key
const item = window.localStorage.getItem(key);
// Parse stored json or return initialValue
return item ? JSON.parse(item) : initialValue;
} catch (error) {
// If error also return initialValue
console.log(error);
return initialValue;
}
});
// Return a wrapped version of useState's setter function
// that persists the new value to localStorage.
const setValue = (value) => {
try {
// Allow value to be a function so we have same API as useState
const valueToStore =
value instanceof Function ? value(storedValue) : value;
// Save state
setStoredValue(valueToStore);
// Save to local storage
window.localStorage.setItem(key, JSON.stringify(valueToStore));
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
};
return [storedValue, setValue];
}
This example demonstrates persisting form input to localStorage.
