🚀 React Interview Question: What is the useRef hook and when should you use it? 💡In React, useRef is a hook that lets you store values that persist across renders — without triggering a re-render. 🔹 Key Idea: useRef returns a mutable object with a .current property that you can update anytime. 🔹 Use cases: Access DOM Elements - perfect for focusing inputs, scrolling, or measuring elements. Store Mutable Values - keep values like counters, timers, or flags without re-rendering. Persist Previous Values - track previous state or props easily. 💡 Interview Tip: useRef is used to persist values across renders without triggering re-renders and is commonly used for DOM access and storing mutable values.
