Just wanted to say I'm a 39 yo man who currently enrolled into a school for software engineering. I often refer to your videos, and they have helped me maintain a perfect score so far in school. Thank you so much for these!!!!

How is it possible for you to explain something in 15 minutes that I didn't understand from hours of watching other videos? You've seriously got a gift for teaching, and I feel like I have a much better comprehension of useState now. Thank you!

Man, I don’t think there’s anyone who can explain concepts as simple and eloquent as you. Absolutely love your work!

You've got a phenomenal teaching style, Kyle. I can tell you always put in the time for proper preparation for your videos by how structured and easy to comprehend they are. As always, another excellent video, thanks!

This was amazing, getting into react for last part of our boot camp and it goes so fast they don't always go in depth, this made sense, and has helped me a LOT, thank you so much!!

This was such a good tutorial. It actually explained everything methodically and using simple examples, without treating the viewer like an idiot. I love this channel.

I've been using react for over 4 years and off course am very comfortable with class components. Am currently adding to an existing application and decided to see what all the fuss was with functional components and hooks. Your 15 minutes on the nuance of basic concepts behind setState has been very helpful. Good video.

my name is kyle and my job is to simplify the web for you so that u can start building your dream projects sooner .....I love this sentence

Thanks for the explanation, it's very easy to follow this way. I must admit I laughed at the typo at 5:57 but you recovered nicely

Today was one of those days where I needed to learn something new, and instead of searching for hours... First search, first click, and 15 minutes later - learning accomplished. Thank you very much. Great tutorial!

Really love how you take some really simple example to explain these concepts instead of overthinking or over complicating things. Awesome stuff!

As a veteran JS user for YEARS, I needed a crash course in React; your videos have been INCREDIBLY helpful! Thanks for doing this :D

Havn't seen a guy who explains useState better than you. Subscribed.

SMAL NOTE: 10:53 if you call function by reference, so "useState(countInitial)", so WITHOUT BRACKETS, the function will be called only once. Greate tutorial, great explanations, great teacher! Keep going!

I couldn't understand this thing for weeks...you did the magic in 15 mins... Man !!! Some people are born to be good teachers ❤️ teaching someone or passing your knowledge to others , is one of the most noble thing to do ❤️

This is the clearest, most concise explanation of the useState hook that I have found, HANDS DOWN. Thank you!

10:57 highlight for running vs referencing any initial function is so nice. Also appreciating the attention to variable de-structuring syntax, way beyond notation purposes, as noticed below.

0% nonsense. 100% useful information. Awesome explanation!

Super helpful for me, and I am a senior dev team lead in OO programming (C#, WPF, MvvM) attempting to pivot back into web dev after about 2.5 years away from React. Trying to brush back up on it. Thank you so much for your clear explanation and no frills approach. Great stuff bud

Your teaching skills are so well adapted to abstract concepts like coding. I think that you've got a real knack for addressing the questions that naturally pop into people's heads as they grasp this content, nice work! This cleared up a lot of things for me in such a short amount of time, easiest sub of my life.

I appreciate the explanation of the overlooked things that are usually.. 'Just done this way'

Finally somebody actually explained what the hell the "const [thing, otherthing] = stuff" syntax actually does, instead of saying "it's just some ES6 magic syntax".

that was 15 min worth a whole week searching and watching multiple videos on the subjsct. thanks a lot and keep on the road simplifiying stuff...

Best explanation I have seen so far about useState, and you do a fantastic job explaining even the edge topics like hooks order, fragmented state, etc. I really loved this video, man. Subscribed!

And I thought spending 15+ mins on just useState was an overkill. It was SOO WORTH IT!! loved the way you explained it all with appropriate examples. Thanks a lot Kyle. ✌️😎👏👏🌹

Oh, man, of all the typos you could have made, you made that one =D Great vid; well presented as always.

You are one of the absolute *best* dev tutorial channels out there. Please never change!

I’m in a coding bootcamp right now and you are a godsend! Thank you for your videos. They help so much!

Nicely done sir. Taking complex subjects and simplifying them so that a child could understand them is no easy feat. Seriously, people that can do that are the ones that lower barriers and allow new people into areas they might otherwise not venture. They demystify. You truly do have a gift and I very thankful for people like you.

KYLE IS THE MAN!

Thank goodness there's actually someone who takes time to explain wtf is going on in code. So many tutorials are just people flying through examples and not explaining or showing how things work at all.

Your clarity in explaining things is second to none....Great one

This was awesome. I never knew about passing a function to useState to optimize the performance.

You are such a good teacher Kyle. Thank you! You’re also so handsome 😊

The way you built up the examples to show how to use hooks for scalar value, functions and objects and when we should use them - absolute gem!! Subscribed

15mins of pure gold!!!!!! cleared my doubts completely

Bro this video is made in Heaven, we needed this. Hooks are kinda confusing e.g. every time a component renders, it happens twice ( console.logs at 10:07 and 10:59). But hooks like useRef, useEffect and useCallback are the one's that confuse me the most

that missed "o" though. Rough buddy. But an amazing video that helped me a lot! Thank you!

beat my head against the wall all day for trying to learn this hook. this summed everything up in such a concise way! so grateful, keep up the amazing work.

Brilliant as always. These narrow topic mini videos have become an essential tool for filling in gaps where I need to learn the why behind the how. 💜

5:56 lol Great video by the way, thanks a lot!

😍 nice! Please do one on the context API

You made the useState hook so simple to understand you are really a good teacher. Please keep making more videos, thanks so much, I do appreciate it.

This is actually the best video to understand useState Hook. Everything is crystal clear! Thank you so much!

Can we have a video about custom hooks? thank you for the effort

You know its been well explained, if I commented. I commented.

The tip you gave on function initialization for use state is phenomenal. I boosted performance drastically in my application 😯

Absolutely fantastic. So clear and helpful. So few guides take the time to go through various similar-but-different approaches to use cases, and don't talk much about why or when it's important to choose one over the other. Thank you!

everytime you say gotchu, i wanna say bless you lol.

That was a brilliant explanation, the only thing I don't understand is how does prevState gets the current state values :/

Great video! No guff, quality content that gets the concepts across with simple yet effective examples.

ive been going through tutorial hell for a while now. Ive watched a ton of teachers on youtube. I think you are by far the best and most intelligent coder ive come across. Im a 40 year old man and learning this stuff is not easy, but you definitely make it easier. Thank you Kyle.

Amazing! I find it strange that half this stuff isn't in the ReactJS docs, or is just really hard to spot, I tried to reference it and can't even find it... Amazing videos, as always!

at 10:50 , you can pass the function literal into setState and it will have the same behavior as the anonymous function.. So do UseState(countInitial) instead of UseState(countInitial()).

I'm new to web development, just shifted from working in design to development. This video was really helpful, you really simplified it. Excellent teaching style, subscribed.

You are so great! You really make web dev simple! Never understood useState until now. All of your lessons are so great, keep on the good work!

Note to everyone: if you were updating the state using `setTimeOut`, remember closures in JS and know that it will get the state that you pass in at the time of you calling set timeout, as oppose to the current state of the useState hook. If you'd like setTimeout to use the newer state, you can wrap your state in a `useRef` container and it's `.current` property will hold the latest state.

decrement what?

This is absolutely the best explanation of React Hooks {useState}. I was struggling a lot not getting the correct understanding of this es6 style syntactic sugar.

You, young man, are a masterful teacher! Thank you for making this complex topic simple and accessible to all. This is the mark of a great educator. :) :)

@ 7:45 can somebody educate me on the setCount (prevCount => prevCount - 1) ? its unclear to me how prevCount was assigned value of 4.

5:55 there are no accidents

Kyle your teaching style is SUPERB and the way how you take us through every bits and gotchas and explain in the easiest way is remarkable. Love from India.

Thanks so much for this Kyle! Most clear explanation of useState along with a few little tidbits of info that helped me understand its benefits! You're the man!

Before watching this video, I thought I understood the react hooks..

just love your teaching style, easy to understand , relaxed, focus on what we need.

Great explanation. I cant believe how simple you made this seem. I was scratching my head over the concepts involved before coming across this video.. Thanks

This video is brilliant! Detailed useState explanation in a simplified manner with examples.

This is so clear! I had trouble understanding the useState concept from other medias!

Oh man, I think you just taught me how to get around the useState issue I've been slamming my head against as a React newbie. This is great! Thank you!!

You have a great knack, for simplifying a subject, thank you, concise and well presented!

This is absolutely brilliant!! So thoroughly explained! Excellent video on React Hooks.

You are the King, I was looking for such an awesome React.js Hooks course but have not found the nice one till i saw your "useState" video

Was really struggling with some hook tutorials but this certainly helped, great video!

The perfect react-course. Very well explained, good examples, really well done Thank you

I was trying for a long time to understand how these hooks work, thank you soo much, great video, great explanation.

Not everyone can explain something effectively, but u do it well. Good work. I just started learning React and it is very complex , but ur video helps.

Very very clear. I have searched so much content on this but I still didn't have a very clear understanding on how to use it. You really helped me a lot thanks.

The way you teach is amazing, I am currently in a coding bootcamp and I can say the way you teach is a lot better than how my instructor explains code to us. is much more human comprehensive without the sacrifice of code terminology.

I love the style of delivery and the direct way to hitting the topic and time....thanks

That was excellent! It was concise. I like you provided different options for incrementing and decrementing the counts.

I've seen many videos trying to explain state() hook and for me and that is the only video I could really understand properly! Thank you very much!!

Love, love, love what you do and how you do it. You have one of the best teaching styles online anywhere, top 0.1% for sure :)

just discovered you by this video (searching for react usestate) - I know nothing about react and little to no js. I'm 5 minutes love your presentation style, narration and examples - I understood everything easily. Thank you

This was clear and concise. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

You explain things so well! Thank you!

Everytime i need to learn something i always check several chanels to find "the guy" but this kid is what he promises. He simplifies the web for us

Man this was amazing, I took an Udemy course and read some posts but I didn’t get this until this video of yours.

Thanks so much for this very clear and understandable video, I've been playing with React lately and your video made me understand useState more perfectly.

One of the greatest tutorials I have ever seen! Thank you.

You do ensure to cover the most basic and most important aspects of every hook. Really awesome explanations.

Explained the concept really well and covered all the bases. Thank you!

Been using hooks for almost a year and while I knew most of this, a few gotchas I had no idea about. Thanks!

Wow, that is some useful video to be available to all junior FE devs out there! Thank you :)

Dude, thanks a ton. Literally no online documentation is this helpful. They all talk in an esoteric way that you can only really get if you are a least fairly introduced to React. Honestly, hardly any intro content is helpful to people like me who really haven't been involved in front-end development -- mostly back-end. With the lack of type safety in JS, a lot of articles will show you these anonymous types, variables, etc., and expect you to know exactly what that looks like. It's hard to follow sometimes when you have to constantly trace steps back on everything so you have the right mental image for context. Doesn't help a ton of articles and examples start flat out in the middle of other things as well. Looking at redux I'll see these basic pseudo code examples, but it never shows the context in which they are using it... like is example code inside a component? What imports do you have? What are these variables you use and don't show the definitions of? My oh my it's frustrating! Anyways, you video was perfect. I'll be coming here first instead of Googling or looking at docs.

Comprehensive explanation with intuition developed around hooks

Amazing explanation Kyle!!! Incredible style of explaining!!!

I love how clearly you explain everything, it really reflects your knowledge on the topic! TYSM!

Great video. Alot of youtubers just copy content from each other and tell repeating contents, you did amazing job and represent creative content. Well Done. Keep it up

bless you for this tutorial! the react site was way too simple yet complex but this explains it all!
