React just announced a new [Hooks]([Introducing Hooks – React](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html)) proposal enabling React Function Components to handle state and side-effects, which was previously only possible with React Class Components. In this lesson, we will be using a prerelease of React to convert a React Class Component to a Function Component using hooks, and then at the very end we'll introduce a custom hook to simplify the component even further.
