Use state in functions and create custom hooks.

Let's create a functional component and use the useState hook from react.

useState will return an array with 2 values inside [state,setter]
Using the setter you can change the value of the state. Below is an example of a counter component with increment method that calls our setCount which is our state setter and increments the value by 1.

function ExampleComponent = (props) => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  
  inc = () => {
	setCount(++count)
  }
  
  return (
	<div>
		<p>Current count: {count} </p>
        <button onClick={inc}>Increment</button>
	</div>
	)

}
Use state in function example snippet

We can also create custom hook in order to keep our code smaller, maintainable  and scaleable.

We define useCountHook this function we receive initial state and will return an array similar to useState with 2 values [state, method to generate new state].

This allows us to separate the logic from our main component and let the custom hook handle the business logic.

function useCountHook = (initial) => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(initial);
  
  inc = () => {
	setCount(++count)
  }
  
  return [count,inc]

}

function ExampleComponent = (props) => {
  const [count, increment] = useCountHook(0)
  
  return (
	<div>
		<p>Current count: {count} </p>
        <button onClick={increment}>Increment</button>
	</div>
	)

}
Create custom react hook and use it.

That's all.
