Custom Hooks in React: The Ultimate UI Abstraction Layer
summary
Custom hooks do the heavy lifting: a concrete useDarkMode reads matchMedia and syncs theme, a useClickOutside uses refs and a callback-ref pattern to avoid repeated listeners, stores move from useState to useReducer with multi-context splitting to reduce rerenders, persistence uses localStorage, network uses axios or React Query or Apollo for caching and mutations, and libraries like react-table expose only hooks — these patterns are implemented and shown working.
