  1. This is the best article that explains well the different react hooks for me. Thanks a lot for this! Btw, do you recommend to omit react-redux over react hooks? Sorry about my grammar.

  2. Hello, thank you for this thorough article. I do have a question about the second example involving the class component with proptypes. I was wondering how/why the refactored code resulted in this:

    App.propTypes = {
    name: PropTypes.number
    }

    Particularly, it is the “PropTypes.number” part of it I don’t understand. Because it first appears as:

    static propTypes = {
    name: PropTypes.string
    }

    Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
