React 18+ Hooks

New concurrent features

javascript
// useTransition - mark updates as non-urgent
const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition()

startTransition(() => {
  setSearchQuery(input)                // Non-urgent update
})

// useDeferredValue - defer updating a value
const deferredQuery = useDeferredValue(searchQuery)

// useDebugValue - custom hook debugging
function useCustomHook(value) {
  useDebugValue(value ? 'Active' : 'Inactive')
  return value
}
💡 useTransition for responsive UI during heavy updates
⚡ React 19: startTransition can wrap async functions (Actions)
✅ useDeferredValue for expensive child components
🔍 useDebugValue shows in React DevTools
