Gain insights into advanced React patterns with hooks. Learn about optimizing components with hooks over traditional methods like render props or higher-order components for better efficiency.

With the release of hooks, certain React patterns have gone out of style. Hooks are likely the way we’ll be writing React components for the next couple of years, so they are quite important. React patterns can still be used, but in most cases, developers will be better off using hooks. For example, they should choose hooks over render props or higher-order components. There may be specific cases where the aforementioned could still be used, but most of the time, hooks are better. That being said, this course will teach you some of the more advanced React patterns implemented with hooks.

# Triggering Callbacks Upon State Change

Let’s borrow a concept from your experience with React’s class components. If you remember, it’s possible to do this with class components: 

this.setState({
  name: "value"
}, () => {
  this.props.onStateChange(this.state.name)
})


If you don’t have experience with class components, this is how you trigger a **callback after a state change** in class components. 

Usually, the callback, e.g., `this.props.onStateChange` on **line 4**, is always invoked with the current value of the updated state as shown below: 

this.props.onStateChange(this.state.name)


Why is this important? This is good practice for creating reusable components because this way, the consumer of your component can attach any custom logic to be run after a state update. 

For example:  

In this lesson, we'll learn how to use React hooks to handle state change callbacks.
