*Hooks* let you use state and other React features without writing a class.
Building your own Hooks lets you extract component logic into reusable functions.
When we were learning about [using the Effect Hook](/docs/hooks-effect.html#example-using-hooks-1), we saw this component from a chat application that displays a message indicating whether a friend is online or offline:
```js{4-15}
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
function FriendStatus(props) {

Now let's say that our chat application also has a contact list, and we want to render names of online users with a green color. We could copy and paste similar logic above into our `FriendListItem` component but it wouldn't be ideal:

You might be thinking that we'd need a separate effect to perform the cleanup. But code for adding and removing a subscription is so tightly related that `useEffect` is designed to keep it together. If your effect returns a function, React will run it when it is time to clean up:

## Adoption Strategy
### Which versions of React include Hooks?
Starting with 16.8.0, React includes a stable implementation of React Hooks for:
* React DOM
* React DOM Server
* React Test Renderer
* React Shallow Renderer
Note that **to enable Hooks, all React packages need to be 16.8.0 or higher**. Hooks won't work if you forget to update, for example, React DOM.
React Native will fully support Hooks in its next stable release.
### Do I need to rewrite all my class components?
No. There are [no plans](/docs/hooks-intro.html#gradual-adoption-strategy) to remove classes from React -- we all need to keep shipping products and can't afford rewrites. We recommend trying Hooks in new code.
### What can I do with Hooks that I couldn't with classes?
Hooks offer a powerful and expressive new way to reuse functionality between components. ["Building Your Own Hooks"](/docs/hooks-custom.html) provides a glimpse of what's possible. [This article](https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/making-sense-of-react-hooks-fdbde8803889) by a React core team member dives deeper into the new capabilities unlocked by Hooks.
### How much of my React knowledge stays relevant?
Hooks are a more direct way to use the React features you already know -- such as state, lifecycle, context, and refs. They don't fundamentally change how React works, and your knowledge of components, props, and top-down data flow is just as relevant.

Our goal is for Hooks to cover all use cases for classes as soon as possible. There are no Hook equivalents to the uncommon `getSnapshotBeforeUpdate` and `componentDidCatch` lifecycles yet, but we plan to add them soon.
It is a very early time for Hooks, so some integrations like DevTools support or Flow/TypeScript typings may not be ready yet. Some third-party libraries might also not be compatible with Hooks at the moment.

### Do Hooks work with static typing?
Hooks were designed with static typing in mind. Because they're functions, they are easier to type correctly than patterns like higher-order components. We have reached out both to Flow and TypeScript teams in advance, and they plan to include definitions for React Hooks in the future.
Hooks were designed with static typing in mind. Because they're functions, they are easier to type correctly than patterns like higher-order components. The latest Flow and TypeScript React definitions include support for React Hooks.
Importantly, custom Hooks give you the power to constrain React API if you'd like to type them more strictly in some way. React gives you the primitives, but you can combine them in different ways than what we provide out of the box.

We intend for Hooks to cover all existing use cases for classes, but **we will keep supporting class components for the foreseeable future.** At Facebook, we have tens of thousands of components written as classes, and we have absolutely no plans to rewrite them. Instead, we are starting to use Hooks in the new code side by side with classes.
## Frequently Asked Questions
We've prepared a [Hooks FAQ page](/docs/hooks-faq.html) that answers the most common questions about Hooks.
## Next Steps
By the end of this page, you should have a rough idea of what problems Hooks are solving, but many details are probably unclear. Don't worry! **Let's now go to [the next page](/docs/hooks-overview.html) where we start learning about Hooks by example.**
