What is state in React and how is it used?
State in React is an object that represents the dynamic state of a component. It is used with the useState
hook in functional components or in the constructor of class components.
For example:
import React, { useState } from 'react';
function Counter() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
return (
<div>
<p>You clicked {count} times</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
Click me
</button>
</div>
);
}
