React Hooks enables us to build components using the functional approach instead of an object-oriented (classes) approach. So the big question here is – What is React Hooks and why is everyone so excited about them. But before we discuss what React Hooks actually are, it is very important to understand the challenges that we are currently facing with React and how Hooks can help us solve these challenges.

Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a programming practice which enables developers to write code only if an automated test has failed thereby avoiding duplication of the code. The primary aim of TDD is to write code which is clearer and bug-free. As a developer, you need to write tests for every small functionality of the application. It is a cyclic process and each cycle starts by writing a unit test. Test-Driven Development can easily be compiled in 4 easy steps – 1.
