What is useRef Hook in React? Let's learn it step-by-step.

React provides a bunch of useful built-in hooks like useState, useEffect, useContext, useRef, and many more. The useRef hook is one of the underestimated hooks among all. In many cases, developers try to use it to hack things around but it is more than that.

I've created a video as part of the "Lear React, Practically" series to explain the useRef usages, its differences with useState, and the right places to use it. I hope you enjoy going through it.

I would love to clarify doubts, answer questions. Please send them across as comments on the above video or in this show. Wish you a happy learning 😀
