Book Description

React Hooks revolutionize how you manage state and effects in your web applications. They enable you to build simple and concise React.js applications, along with helping you avoid using wrapper components in your applications, making it easy to refactor code.

This React book starts by introducing you to React Hooks. You will then get to grips with building a complex UI in React while keeping the code simple and extensible. Next, you will quickly move on to building your first applications with React Hooks. In the next few chapters, the book delves into various Hooks, including the State and Effect Hooks. After covering State Hooks and understanding how to use them, you will focus on the capabilities of Effect Hooks for adding advanced functionality to React apps. You will later explore the Suspense and Context APIs and how they can be used with Hooks. Toward the concluding chapters, you will learn how to integrate Redux and MobX with React Hooks. Finally, the book will help you develop the skill of migrating your existing React class components, and Redux and MobX web applications to Hooks.

By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in building your own custom Hooks and effectively refactoring your React applications.

Do You Want to Learn Hooks? Then Get this Book

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023

Simple, elegant, and to the point. That author does a fantastic job of explaining what hooks are in React and also goes into making your customer hooks. This book deserves to be in every React developer's library.

So much potential, but falls short

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2019

I was excited to see this book since I am really very interested to learn and understand React Hooks. First, I will preface this by stating that this is an advanced book. Newbies, and even intermediate users should avoid this book.

The book starts off great. You learn some basic concepts about hooks, then you slowly build an app. As you progress through the book, the app gets refactored to use React Hooks. The book does a particularly good job discussing the useState hook.

Chapter 3 is where I started to run into trouble, and by chapter 4 I was completely lost. The book requires you to build on the app from previous chapters. That is fine, but starting around Chapter 3, the author provides the code to enter but does not tell you where to put it. This resulted in a lot of trial and error. I used the downloadable code to figure it out, but the downloadable code is the completed version of the chapter. This means I had to dig through the downloadable code for the section of the chapter I'm reading while avoiding the new code that would be added in later sections. I could chalk this up to my own limitations, but it still made for a frustrating experience.

By Chapter 4, it felt like I was just typing in code without understanding what I was doing. I will admit that I'm not a Javascript/React guru, but I felt like I needed to be one in order to get through this book. I gave up at Chapter 5.

Overall, this book has potential, but it falls short. It's difficult to follow and makes many assumptions about the reader's skillset. After four chapters, I understand how to use a hook (syntax-wise), but I'm still unclear on the when and why, though the author does make a quick attempt to explain it.

However, its flaws could be fixed in a 2nd Edition, and I would give it another chance. Also, the author does a lot of cool stuff with Javascript; I learned some Javascript techniques that were unrelated to hooks, so that was a pleasant benefit.

Lastly, kudos to the author for writing a book on such a cutting-edge concept.

I was hooked within the first two chapters. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2020

I've read probably 10-15 react books at this point and I'd have to say in terms of theory/conceptual understanding this book is probably the best I've read when it comes to react hooks vs react class-based components.

The book is very well written and the first few chapters are reasonably forgiving to newer react developers and even provide the reader with an under-the-hood understanding of useState for example by basically creating it from scratch.

The one downside is it seems to be intended for people who have already finished a few react applications and are now tasked with evaluating components and possibly refactoring class-based components to react hooks. So, personally I would recommend it to mid to senior-level developers or very advanced beginners.

Nice book on React Hooks

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2021

But I really wish the author could publish errata. Starting Page 74, one can see some obvious errors as the app would crash. Comparing with the example code on the Github, they are very different. Chapter 5 were even worse, a lot of steps were omitted. One has to compare with the example code to see what's really going on.

The Definitive Guide on Learning React Hooks + Function Components

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2021

This book is excellent! At work and in my personal projects I've always used class components, and I've been having a hard time learning to use hooks in a new NextJS app that I'm building for fun. After riding the struggle bus for awhile trying to do some really basic stuff, I just decided to bite the bullet and buy a book or a course to figure out how to write React apps in this new style. The first video tutorial I attempted watch on the subject on YouTube put me to sleep, literally. So after I woke up from my long nap I started hunting for books instead. Fortunately, I happened to find this 700 page beast of a manual and am now on my way! So if you find yourself in a similar situation needing to re-learn React I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to learn about Hooks & Functional Components.

A Very Good Introduction to Hooks

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 7, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is a good book for an intermediate React developer (ES6 familiarity, NPM, etc. is assumed). The author starts with a nice exploration of how useState() is actually implemented "under the hood" by React, which is something I had been wanting to understand (this explains why the order in which hooks are called is so essential).

After explaining the useState hook fundamentals, he does a pretty good overview of how to use each of the new Hooks included in React 17. He also devotes a chapter to a variety of useful 3rd party "community" hooks, and a chapter each to using Redux and MobX with hooks.

The bulk of the book is structured around building a very simple blog SPA. It's far too simple for a real production site, but it serves as a decent example. The book is essentially a very long step-by-step tutorial. Along the way, the author does a nice job of explaining how to do things with Hooks that you previously did with class-based React Component lifecycle events (componentDidMount, etc.), giving various examples of migrating from the old style to hooks.

My only 2 complaints about this book are pretty minor, but I pulled a star for them:
1) Although the author steps you thru a lot of good code examples in great detail (line-by-line in many cases), he never includes the complete finished code sample at the end. Yes, you can download all the code from GitHub, but if you're offline (or just lazy), you never see the completed full example code in the book, so you just have to keep all the incremental changes in your mind and imagine it as a full script.

2) Since this is a tutorial-style book - it's almost exclusively a "tactical implementation" book, and as such is very opinionated and follows a 1-track path. I wish he'd included more theory in every chapter (ie. pros/cons, gotchas, best practices, different approaches, etc.). It's just not that kind of a book, which is OK ... that just leaves room for the 2nd edition to be even better. ;-)

Overall this is a very good introduction to hooks, and will give any competent React developer a solid start for using Hooks in their web apps.
