Are there any Treehouse React courses that cover the use of Hooks?

I'm taking the React courses that Treehouse offers right now and really enjoying them, but it seems like most new(er) React code is making use of hooks and doing away with class components. Is this covered in any of the Treehouse courses?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if this counts (probably not) but it is the only thing I can find with the term 'hooks' in it. I don't know much about them except that they allow you to use React in functions outside of classes. This link and text for that step are from the React Components course

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/update-the-stopwatch-state-with-componentdidmount

"In this video, we'll use the componentDidMount() lifecycle method to make the stopwatch tick. React's built-in lifecycle methods get called at each point in a component's life-cycle. The methods act as hooks you can use to run code at key times in the life-cycle. This gives you the ability to control what happens when a component mounts, updates and unmounts."

This might have been a precursor to hooks, but you would know better than me. Hope this helps in some little way.

Hey Rick,

Unfortunately I've already taken this course and though it was helpful, didn't cover the subject material I was looking for.

Thanks for your help!

You're welcome. Hopefully Treehouse will come out with a course on hooks in the near future.
