Comparing `useRef` and `useState`

Read Original

This article provides a detailed comparison between React's useRef and useState hooks. It explains that useRef acts as both a state manager and a stabilizer, as changing its value doesn't trigger a re-render, unlike useState. The author illustrates the concepts with practical examples, including creating a custom useForceUpdate hook and a visual component to demonstrate render cycles.
