Functional components and Hooks

[jrgriffiniii]

React developers have been supporting the transition towards using Hooks for some while now: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html

There are opinions on whether or not Redux becomes necessary with the proper usage of Hooks, please see https://medium.com/javascript-in-plain-english/state-management-with-react-hooks-no-redux-or-context-api-8b3035ceecf8 and https://medium.com/javascript-scene/do-react-hooks-replace-redux-210bab340672 (I am sorry for linking to Medium, but most of the material I've been finding is on this platform 😞).

This are also now offered within Redux should it be determined that we should retain these: https://react-redux.js.org/next/api/hooks
