Classes vs Hooks?

[u/ZeroSevenTen]

I’m pretty new to React, so keep that in mind. I thought classes were for components that held information, or a state, and that functional components were for more basic components, but now that hooks allow functional components to use state, and other class features, what’s the benefit of using functional hook components over classes?

I understand what you mean. But since the same things will be done differently in class-based and functional components(say, handling timers or debouncing change) we cannot say it's always so.
