Using libraries in React

I explain how I use external libraries to avoid reinventing the wheel and accelerate my development. I demonstrate how to install and integrate GSAP to create smooth animations, as well as Three.js to generate immersive 3D scenes like a rotating metal cube. These tools allow me to easily transform a static interface into a much more interactive and dynamic experience.

Discovering Hooks in React: Building a Mini Pokédex with useState, useEffect, and a Custom Hook

In this article, I explain how Hooks have made functional components much more powerful by allowing them to manage state and side effects. I demonstrate the use of `useState` to create an interactive counter and `useEffect` to handle automated actions like a real-time clock. Finally, I share my method for creating a custom Hook (`useFetch`), which I used to build a dynamic mini-Pokedex with the PokeAPI.

It demonstrates how to create a functional component, export it, and then integrate it into an application by using it as an HTML tag. Finally, the author presents the use of “props” to pass dynamic data to these components, making the interface flexible and customizable.
