+# Pairing A Callback With A useState Hook
+
+React's Class-based state management allowed you to update the state of your
+component with a call to `this.setState()`. The first argument represents the
+changes to the state. It also accepts a second argument; a callback that will
+be invoked after the state has been updated.
+
+```javascript
+this.setState({ loading: true }, () => console.log("Loading..."));
+```
+
+If you've transitioned to Hooks-based state management, then you may have
+noticed that the updaters generated by `useState` calls do not accept a second
+callback argument.
+
+If you want to update state and fire a callback in response to it, you can pair
+`useState` with `useEffect`.
+
+```javascript
+import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
+
+function App() {
+  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
+  const toggleLoading = () => setLoading(prevLoading => !prevLoading);
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if(loading) {
+      console.log("We are loading now");
+    }
+  }, [loading])
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {loading && <p>Loading...</p>}
+      <button onClick={toggleLoading}>{loading ? "Cancel" : "Save"}</button>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+The `useState` acts on its own. It has no side-effects. We follow it with a
+`useEffect` that responds to changes to the value of `loading` -- this is where
+our _callback_ gets invoked.
