State Management

3 snippets

Managing component state

useState Hook

import { useState } from 'react';

const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);

  return (
    <div>
      <p>Count: {count}</p>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Increment</button>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count - 1)}>Decrement</button>
    </div>
  );
};

Multiple State Variables

const LoginForm = () => {
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');
  const [password, setPassword] = useState('');
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);

  const handleSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    setIsLoading(true);
    // Submit logic
  };

  return (
    <form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
      <input value={email} onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)} />
      <input value={password} onChange={(e) => setPassword(e.target.value)} />
      <button disabled={isLoading}>Login</button>
    </form>
  );
};

State with Objects

const UserProfile = () => {
  const [user, setUser] = useState({
    name: '',
    email: '',
    age: 0
  });

  const updateName = (name) => {
    setUser({ ...user, name });
  };

  return <div>{user.name}</div>;
};

Side Effects

3 snippets

useEffect hook

Basic useEffect

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

const DataFetcher = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    fetch('/api/data')
      .then(res => res.json())
      .then(data => setData(data));
  }, []);

  return <div>{data ? JSON.stringify(data) : 'Loading...'}</div>;
};

const SearchResults = ({ query }) => {
  const [results, setResults] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {

        .then(res => res.json())
        .then(data => setResults(data));
    }
  }, [query]);

  return <div>{results.length} results</div>;
};

Cleanup Function

const Timer = () => {
  const [seconds, setSeconds] = useState(0);

  useEffect(() => {
    const interval = setInterval(() => {
      setSeconds(s => s + 1);
    }, 1000);

    return () => clearInterval(interval);
  }, []);

  return <div>{seconds} seconds</div>;
};
