| 14 | +The **`useReducer()`** hook in React allows for custom state logic. If you find yourself keeping track of multiple pieces of state that rely on complex logic, **`useReducer()`** may be useful. It allows you add a reducer to your component. It takes in the reducer function and an initialState as arguments. The **`useReducer()`** also returns an array of the current state and a dispatch function. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Syntax |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +The `useReducer()` hook accepts three arguments. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +```pseudo |
| 21 | +useReducer(reducer, initialState, init) |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The `reducer` function contains your custom state logic and the `initialStatecan` be a simple value, but generally will contain an object. The `init` argument is optional and is used to initialize the state. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +The `useReducer` Hook returns the current `state` and a `dispatch` method. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Example 1 |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +In this example, we use `useReducer` to keep track of the score of two players. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +```jsx |
| 33 | +import { useReducer } from 'react'; |
| 34 | +import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'; |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +const initialScore = [ |
| 37 | + { |
| 38 | + id: 1, |
| 39 | + score: 0, |
| 40 | + name: "John", |
| 41 | + }, |
| 42 | + { |
| 43 | + id: 2, |
| 44 | + score: 0, |
| 45 | + name: "Sally", |
| 46 | + }, |
| 47 | +]; |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +const reducer = (state, action) => { |
| 50 | + switch (action.type) { |
| 51 | + case "INCREASE": |
| 52 | + return state.map((player) => { |
| 53 | + if (player.id === action.id) { |
| 54 | + return { ...player, score: player.score + 1 }; |
| 55 | + } else { |
| 56 | + return player; |
| 57 | + } |
| 58 | + }); |
| 59 | + default: |
| 60 | + return state; |
| 61 | + } |
| 62 | +}; |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +function Score() { |
| 65 | + const [score, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, initialScore); |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | + const handleIncrease = (player) => { |
| 68 | + dispatch({ type: "INCREASE", id: player.id }); |
| 69 | + }; |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + return ( |
| 72 | + <> |
| 73 | + {score.map((player) => ( |
| 74 | + <div key={player.id}> |
| 75 | + <label> |
| 76 | + <input |
| 77 | + type="button" |
| 78 | + onClick={() => handleIncrease(player)} |
| 79 | + value={player.name} |
| 80 | + /> |
| 81 | + {player.score} |
| 82 | + </label> |
| 83 | + </div> |
| 84 | + ))} |
| 85 | + </> |
| 86 | + ); |
| 87 | +} |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render( |
| 90 | + <Score /> |
| 91 | +); |
| 92 | +``` |
