Custom hooks in React are functions, and we can write them by combining other, preexisting hooks.

In this lesson, we'll wrap the useState React hook to create a hook that automatically pulls out the event.target.value of an input's onChange callback. We'll then use that hook directly as the onChange prop of a text input.
