Hooks are a new addition in React that lets you use state and other React features without writing a class. This website provides easy to understand code examples to help you learn how hooks work and inspire you to take advantage of them in your next project.
Basically, what this hook does is that, it takes a parameter with value true or false and toggles that value to opposite. It's useful when we want to take some action into it's opposite action, for example: show and hide modal, show more/show less text, open/close side menu.
import { useCallback, useState } from 'react';
// Usage
function App() {
// Call the hook which returns, current value and the toggler function
const [isTextChanged, setIsTextChanged] = useToggle();
return (
<button onClick={setIsTextChanged}>{isTextChanged ? 'Toggled' : 'Click to Toggle'}</button>
);
}
// Hook
// Parameter is the boolean, with default "false" value
const useToggle = (initialState = false) => {
// Initialize the state
const [state, setState] = useState(initialState);
// Define and memorize toggler function in case we pass down the comopnent,
// This function change the boolean value to it's opposite value
const toggle = useCallback(() => setState(state => !state), []);
return [state, toggle]
}import { useCallback, useState } from 'react';

// Hook
// Parameter is the boolean, with default "false" value
const useToggle = (initialState: boolean = false): [boolean, any] => {
// Initialize the state
const [state, setState] = useState<boolean>(initialState);
// Define and memorize toggler function in case we pass down the comopnent,
// This function change the boolean value to it's opposite value
const toggle = useCallback((): void => setState(state => !state), []);
return [state, toggle]
