5 Tips to Help You Avoid React Hooks Pitfalls

Let's explore some hook gotchas and how to avoid them.

The React Hooks feature was proposed in October 2018 and released ~4 months later in February 2019. Since then, people have been rapidly learning and adopting hooks in their production codebases because hooks drastically simplify the management of state and side effects in applications.

It definitely took its rightful place as "the new hotness." But as hot as it is, React Hooks require a bit of a change in the way you think about React Component Lifecycles, State, and Side Effects and it can be easy to fall into problematic scenarios if you're not thinking about React Hooks properly. So let's look a bit at what pitfalls you could come across and how you can change your thinking so you avoid them.

The Iceberg of React Hooks

React Hooks, unlike Class Components, provide low-level building blocks for optimizing and composing applications with minimal boilerplate.

Without in-depth knowledge, performance problems can arise and code complexity can increase due to subtle bugs and leaky abstractions.

I’ve created 12 part case study to demonstrate common problems and ways to fix them. I’ve also compiled React Hooks Radar and React Hooks Checklist for small recommendations and quick reference.

Shallow Testing Hooks with Enzyme
Earlier this year, React added the powerful new Hooks feature. Hooks allow you to ditch class components and stick with functional components, even when you need local state and lifecycle methods. They also make it much easier to extract logic from one component and share it with others.

Apollo Client, now with React Hooks

Our mission is to make Apollo Client the most modern and frictionless state management solution for React developers. As the React community has evolved and pioneered new UI development best practices over time, we’ve ensured that Apollo Client adopts and upholds those practices. In keeping with that tradition, today we’re thrilled to announce the addition of React Hooks to Apollo Client! 🚀

Introduced in React 16.8, Hooks are a new way to write stateful components while avoiding the pitfalls of classes. Apollo Client now includes three hooks that you can drop into your app, anywhere you currently use a corresponding higher-order component or render prop component: useQueryuseMutation, and useSubscription. These hooks are simple to get started with, and they have many advantages over the previous APIs, including bundle size reductions and less boilerplate code.

One of the things we love most about React is that the core team and the community are always striving to improve the React developer experience, and Hooks are a prime example of this. We encourage everyone to start using them!
