Alright, so the big news in React the past week has been the proposal of Hooks. People seem to be embracing and flocking to them like crazy.
I'm still not fully understanding of exactly when to use them versus a class component's state or Redux reducer.
Does the addition of hooks mean that redux is no longer needed? Or do hooks still provide only per-component state management, instead of a top-down global state manager?
If they are the next best thing, I would love to use them...but I also want to understand them first, so I don't misuse them. I've done some smaller applications in React, but maybe I'm just not proficient enough to spot where hooks gain competitive edge over Redux's connect or dispatch.
Please help me to understand 😄
