useReducer

useReducer is a hook that is useful when a component's state is complex or depends on previous state values. It is a more robust alternative to useState, especially for handling more complex update logic.

Example of useReducer:

          {`import React, { useReducer } from "react";
          
          const counterReducer = (state, action) => {
            switch (action.type) {
              case "increment":
                return { count: state.count + 1 };
              case "decrement":
                return { count: state.count - 1 };
              default:
                return state;
            }
          };
          
          function Counter() {
            const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(counterReducer, { count: 0 });
            
            return (
              <div>
                <h1>Counter: {state.count}</h1>
                <button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: "increment" })}>Increment</button>
                <button onClick={() => dispatch({ type: "decrement" })}>Decrement</button>
              </div>
            );
          }
          
          export default Counter;`}
