Ably + React Hooks NPM package now out

What's this blog post about?

React is the most commonly used web framework for building single-page apps and high fidelity frontends. Traditionally, state management in React involves binding components to a state passed between them using "props". However, this can cause problems when combined with code that implements its own state management. To address these issues, Ably has built an Ably React Hooks npm package to simplify the process of using Ably with React. The package provides custom React Hooks for managing state and subscribing to channels in functional components. It also supports all parameter combinations of a regular call to channel.subscribe, allowing developers to filter messages by message type.
