New course with React hooks and Firebase?

Don't think you need the redux stuff anymore.

I love the insights sir. Thanks for sharing this.

Yeah I still plan on using Classes. Really hope they don’t kill classes.

Functional components with hooks almost always better

Over the past year I've switched entirely over to stateless functions, but now I'm writing hacky context wrappers to try and control re-renders. Do you think there any advantages to going back to classes?

Hey Ben! Just thought I'd let you know that create-react-app just updated to 2.1.0 which adds TypeScript support!

I still don't understand what hooks are and what are the advantages to use it?

[alexnezhynsky]

They need to figure out how to keep functions on the prototype (for best performance) and retain "this" (for proper binding) while keeping the boilerplate to minimum (for dev experience). From there on, React is going to rock. For now, class sugar is the closest we can get to that.

Im a newbie but hooks and functiona components seems like a step backwards in the sense it looks much close to vanilla JS.

Please show a quick demo using hooks with context API.

Also please do a deployment using GraphQL +AWS Lambda + Apollo Engine + AWS Fargate. Jblaxley's github has some setup code/tutorial to get it all up and running using Up.
