Found a new react hook today !!!!!!!! ?? ??????

useOptimistic

"useOptimistic" is a game-changer for improving user experience.

Think about it—users click a button, and they expect something to happen right away. With useOptimistic, you can immediately update the UI as if the operation succeeded, without waiting for the server to respond. If something goes wrong, you can handle it later. It's all about keeping things smooth and responsive for the user.

For instance, when a user clicks a " ?? " button on a social media post, you can immediately show the "??" animation even if the server response hasn't arrived yet. If something goes wrong, you can gracefully handle it afterward without breaking the user experience.

import React, { useOptimistic } from 'react-dom';

function App() {
  const [optimisticState, setOptimisticState] = useOptimistic(0);

  const handleClick = () => {
    setOptimisticState((prev) => prev + 1); // Optimistic update
    // API request to update count happens in the background
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={handleClick}>Increment</button>
      <div>Optimistic Count: {optimisticState}</div>
    </div>
  );
}        

This increments a counter optimistically. You show the updated value immediately, without waiting for the server response. If the API call fails, you can handle rollback logic afterward.

With useOptimistic, you can make your app feel much faster and more responsive, especially on slower networks. Users love that instant feedback, and now it’s easier than ever to implement.

Let me know what you think about this HOOK. also what is your favorite react hook ? ??????
