Dad Joke Break Lifting State

[00:00] Is the pool safe for diving? It deep ends, depends. All right, great. Well done on this exercise. It's time for a break. So you need to write down the stuff that you learned and go outside or something. Just experience nature, get lunch, do something, get out of your

[00:19] seat so that you can get blood flowing. Or if you're in a wheelchair or something, love you. Probably don't get out of your seat, but do your arm exercises or whatever. It's important for us to move our bodies in some way to get blood flowing. And that way we can

[00:36] learn better. So it's important for your blood flow to go through your brain. That's, you know, your brain kind of needs that. So take a break and then come back and we'll see you in the next one.

In this workshop, we'll learn how to use hooks to manage state, synchronize side-effects, generate unique ids, and more. 

**You'll get a solid understanding of the basic hooks and how to use them.**

We'll be covering these hooks: 

- useState
- useEffect
- useRef
- and useId

At the end of the workshop you'll put everything you learned together and build a Tic Tac Toe game with game history saved in local storage!

## Managing UI State

React's App Lifecycle: Initial Render → Create the DOM → User Interacts → State Changes → Re-render → Update the DOM → Repeat.

Here, you'll be learning how to use the `useState` hook and about the cycle of user interaction, state changes, and re-rendering. The core of how React works!

## Side-Effects

In this section, you'll learn about the `useEffect` hook.

`useState` is for component state, and `useEffect` is for managing side-effects (things that happen outside our react components).

Things outside our react components include:

- Browser APIs like local storage, geolocation, media devices, etc.
- Integrations with third-party libraries like D3, Chart.js, etc.


## Lifting State

A common question from React beginners is how to share state between two sibling components. 

The answer is to "lift the state!" 

But, sometimes you'll find yourself in the opposite situation, where you have state that's lifted too high and doesn't need to be shared. So, in this section, you'll also be learning how to "colocate state."

## DOM Side-Effects

Sometimes, you need to update the DOM directly, like if you're needing a library that interacts with the DOM or ar dealing with focus management. 

To do this you'll learn about how to use both the `ref` callback and the `useRef` hook. 

## Unique IDs

Form input elements need to have globally unique `id` attributes. But, you're also building reusable components in React. 

How do you make sure that you're getting unique IDs?

In this section, you'll solve this problem with the `useId` hook.

## Tic Tac Toe

Here's where it all comes together!

You'll practice all the skills you learned over the course of this workshop by building a Tic Tac Toe game with game history that gets perserved in local storage. 

It's tougher than the other exercises. But, after you get through it, you'll have really solidified everything you learned.

Learn React hooks to add interactivity to your apps and build dynamic websites. You'll learn the core React hooks including useState, useEffect, and useRef.
