Preact Hooks are a set of functions that allow you to use state and other React features in functional components without writing a class. They were introduced in Preact version 10.0.0 and are designed to be largely compatible with React Hooks, making it easy for developers to transition between the two libraries.

The most common hooks include useState, which lets you add state to a component, and useEffect, which lets you perform side effects in functional components. Other hooks like useContext, useReducer, and useCallback are also available, providing a powerful way to manage component logic and state.

Using Preact Hooks offers several advantages. They simplify component logic by allowing developers to share stateful logic without changing the component hierarchy. They also make components easier to test and understand. Because Preact is a smaller and faster alternative to React, using Preact Hooks can lead to improved performance in your applications. The API is very similar to React Hooks, so existing React developers will find them familiar. This similarity also aids in migrating existing React applications to Preact. Preact Hooks are a core part of the Preact ecosystem and are essential for modern functional component development with Preact.
