How to use custom hooks in React without mistakes

💡React Tip💡 Most beginner React developers make this mistake while understanding the custom hooks. When using a particular custom hook in multiple components, you might think that each component will refer to the same data returned from that hook like this: const [show, toggle] = useToggle(); However, this is not the case. Each component using that hook will have a separate instance of the hook. As a result, all the states, event handlers, and other data declared in that custom hook will be different for each component using that hook. So If you need to use the same data and event handlers for all the components, you need to import the custom hook at only one place in the parent component of both of these components. Then, you can pass the data returned by the custom hook as a prop or using context to those specific components. So never make the mistake of using the same custom hook in different components assuming changing hook data from one component will be automatically updated in another component also.
