To create reusable React hooks, add files to the /hooks directory using a consistent use-{name}.js naming convention and register them via a barrel export in hooks/index.js. This standardizes stateful logic and data fetching patterns across your project.

The best way to structure React hooks for state management is to encapsulate the logic in the /hooks directory. Ensure consistent file naming and expose the hook through a project-wide barrel export for seamless component integration.

You should extract component logic into a custom hook when you need to share stateful logic, data fetching, or utility behavior across multiple components. This encapsulation maintains consistency and reduces duplication within your frontend architecture.

Yes, this approach supports creating hooks that encapsulate data fetching and utility behavior. It enforces project conventions by providing a structured Quick Start, frontmatter metadata, and documentation for patterns and step-by-step workflows.

To register a new custom hook, create the hook file in the hooks/use-{name}.js path and then export it from the hooks/index.js barrel file. This ensures the hook is properly exposed for reuse across your application.
