Make Store Utility

[00:00] If I'm being honest, this is a bit of a like regular JavaScript refactor So you might be like wait, why is he having us do this, but it will turn out to something interesting I promise in the next step. So let's make our function make media query store this is going to take a media query, which is a string and we're going to take all this stuff yoink and

[00:20] Stick it right in there. And then we're going to return a hook Called use media query, which will return use sync external store with subscribe and snapshot Hmm, that's interesting. Okay, and then we can make a

[00:38] Call to that here const use narrow media query call it with this and Now we can just call use narrow media query Instead of you sync external store, so we've got like this really nice API for

[00:56] Making any media query store that we want to and hopefully it still works. Yep wide narrow wide narrow So good stuff. We're in a good spot there. And now we have this reusable utility that encapsulates the The hook for us so we don't have to worry about it

[01:14] Yeah, and it's kind of cool to dynamically create hooks like that. So there you go. Hope you had a good time And I'll see you in the next video. Bye

[00:00] So now we want to make a reusable utility for this just to take it a little bit further. So you're going to make a make media query store that takes a media query and returns a hook. Wait, what? Yeah, you can totally dynamically create hooks. Why not?

[00:16] And then you're going to use that. So this will allow us to do any sort of query. Like we could have a query for if we're in print mode or not. Like all sorts of interesting things. I don't even know if that would work because this is for JavaScript. But yeah, you could do all sorts of things with this utility once you're finished. So give it a whirl.

Advanced React APIs covers many of the React APIs that you might not see on a day-to-day basis but you will need these in your toolbelt for certain scenarios that pop up.

We'll take a tour of several advanced hooks and React API, their use-cases, and when to use them. 

These will include:

- useReducer
- use
- createContext
- useLayoutEffect
- useImperativeHandle
- useSyncExternalStore
- flushSync
- createPortal


## Complex State Management

First we'll dive into the deep-end of state management with `useReducer`. This hook comes in really handy when you feel the logic in your components is a sprawling mess and you'd like to consolidate that into a single place with a nice API to interact with. 

We'll get into some state optimizations as well as how to make your logic easily sharable throughout your application with custom hooks.

## Context

While context is often times something you will leave up to library authors, there are some cases where you want to expose values you need throughout your application. We'll build a context provider that will expose search params to our components on a blog search page with `use` (previously `useContext`) and `createContext`.

You'll also refactor this code to expose the context you create in a custom hook that will give us nice error handling when context isn't set up correctly.

## Portals

React gives us `createPortal` to render UI outside of the DOM tree structure that a component might sit in. This is useful for UI elements like modals or tooltips. We'll explore how to attach a tooltip to the `document.body` to ensure it's positioned where it needs to go.

## Layout Computations

If the logic that you are working with in a `useEffect` affects the how the UI looks, especially on first render, you'll want to `useLayoutEffect`. You'll work through an exercise where the client makes calculations on where to place a tooltip before rendering and see the difference when this is in a `useLayoutEffect`.

## Imperative Handles

`useImperativeHandle` is an escape hatch in React that lets you imperatively tell React what to do. This hook is typically paired with a ref (from `useRef`) where we want to expose imperative methods to developers who pass a ref prop to our components.

## Focus Management

`flushSync` is technically a 'de-optimization' because it forces React to re-render whenever you call it. This means you need to be very careful and know what you're doing when you use it.

The primary use-case for this API is focus management. When you have conditional UI that gets rendered based on various state conditions, you can `flushSync` to ensure elements are in the DOM to properly focus.

## Sync Exernal Store

There are some cases where we want to synce our React code with the external world and display different UI based on the state of the external world. This is where `useSyncExternalStore` is useful and lets you subscribe to external stores. We'll also touch on server rendering as this hook supports that use-case.

Learn the hooks and API that React has to offer for complex state management, sharing context throughout your app, focus management and more.
