In this chapter, we first learned about the react-hookedup library. We used this library to simplify input handling with Hooks in our blog app. Then, we had a look at implementing various React life cycles with Hooks. Next, we covered various useful Hooks, such as the usePrevious Hook, Interval/Timeout Hooks, the Online Status Hook, data manipulation Hooks, and the Focus and Hover Hooks. Afterward, we covered responsive design using Hooks, by not rendering certain components on mobile phones. Finally, we learned about implementing undo/redo functionality and debouncing using Hooks.

Using community Hooks is a very important skill, as React only provides a handful of Hooks out of the box. In real applications, you will probably be using many Hooks that are provided by the community, from various libraries and frameworks. We also learned about various community Hooks that will make our life so much easier when writing React applications.

In the next chapter, we will gain an in-depth knowledge about the rules of Hooks, which are important to know before we can start writing our own Hooks.
