+# Manage State In A Functional Component
+
+Before the introduction of React 16.8, you had a couple options for declaring
+and managing state in your components.
+
+The first _class_ way was to create a class component and then [add local,
+component state to
+it](https://reactjs.org/docs/state-and-lifecycle.html#adding-local-state-to-a-class).
+
+If you already had a functional component, you could avoid the conversion to a
+class component with custom HOCs and Render Prop components or any number of
+third-party libraries such as [React
+PowerPlug](http://rena.to/react-powerplug/#/docs-components-state) and
+[Recompose](https://github.com/acdlite/recompose).
+
+However, projects using React 16.8+ have
+[Hooks](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html) at their disposal. The Hooks
+API's base offering is a state hook --
+[`useState`](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-state.html).
+
+```javascript
+import React, { useState } from "react";
+
+const Toggler = () => {
+  const [on, setOn] = useState(false);
+  const [toggleCount, setToggleCount] = useState(0);
+
+  const incrementToggleCount = setToggleCount(prev => prev + 1);
+  const handleToggle = () => {
+    setOn(prev => !prev);
+    incrementToggleCount();
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <React.Fragment>
+      <Thing on={on} />
+      <button onClick={handleToggle}>{on ? "ON" : "OFF"}</button>
+      <p>Toggle Count: {toggleCount}</p>
+    </React.Fragment>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+You can manage a variety of state values in a functional component with
+`useState`. The `useState` function takes the initial state value as an
+argument and returns a tuple with the current state value and an _setter_
+function for updating that piece of state.
