## About React Hooks

(This section comes from when React hooks was just introduced as an alpha feature, but is still useful to keep as an introduction.)

The React Hooks are a new way of **sharing code** between components, introduced in version 16.8.

**_Please read the documentation of React Hooks thoroughly before using them._**

- [The Motivation](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html#motivation)

- [Rules](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-rules.html)

- [Hooks API reference](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html)

- [FAQ](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-faq.html)

It also helps to learn the background mechanism of React Hooks.

## Recommendation

Use [eslint-plugin-react-hooks](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks) in your project. It is 100% smarter than you to detect violation of the Rules of Hooks.

## Usage

### `useReplicant`

- Subscribes to specified replicant and returns the value as state.

- Allows you to use replicant values in function component.

```tsx

import { useReplicant } from "@nodecg/react-hooks";

// This component will re-render when the `counter replicant value changes

export function RunnerName() {

  const [count, setCount] = useReplicant("counter");

  return (

    


      
{count}

       setCount(count + 1)} />

    

  );

}

```


### `useListenFor`

- Subscribes messages with `listenFor`, and unlistens on unmount.

- Combining with other hooks enables powerful stateful features with function component

```tsx

import { useListenFor } from "@nodecg/react-hooks";

// Shows modal for 1 second when NodeCG receives 'errorHappened' message from the server

export function AlertOnMessage() {

  const [showAlert, setShowAlert] = useState(false);

  useListenFor("errorHappened", () => {

    setShowAlert(true);

  });

  useEffect(() => {

    if (!showAlert) {

      return;

    }

    // Disappear alert 1 second after

    const timer = setTimeout(() => {

      setShowAlert(false);

    }, 1000);

    // Make sure to return cleanup function

    return () => {

      clearTimeout(timer);

    };

  }, [showAlert]);

  return ;

}

```
