In this session, we'll explore the rise in popularity of React Hooks and why they are now a fundamental part of many modern React libraries, including Fluent UI. We will dive into the benefits of using Hooks and demonstrate how to implement functional components in SharePoint Framework (SPFx), despite Microsoft continuing to generate SPFx projects with class components.

We will cover:
- The process of converting SPFx solutions to functional components
- The advantages and disadvantages of using functional components
- A deep dive into some of the default Hooks, including state and lifecycle hooks.

By the end of the session, you'll have a solid understanding of how to utilize functional components and Hooks in your upcoming SPFx projects.
