Description
Summary
Update the hooks page to include a section on Async React hooks useTransition, useActionState, and useOptimistic
Page
https://react.dev/reference/react/hooks
Details
The current hooks page has a very React 18 thinking of useTransition (in the Performance Hooks section), useActionState (in other hooks), and is missing the useOptimistic hook. I believe these hooks are better served by being placed in a single section to help spread the React 19 thinking about these hooks.
Proposed Async React Hooks section
Async React Hooks {/async-react-hooks/}
Async React lets you build responsive apps by running async work in Actions callbacks passed to startTransition or action props. State updates from useActionState and useOptimistic must run inside an Action.
useTransitionlets you mark state updates as non-blocking so the UI stays responsive while they run.useActionStatelets you update state from an Action, for form submissions or async reducers.useOptimisticlets you show a temporary UI state while an Action is running.
