In the current piece, we will focus our attention on the concept of hooks in the Phoneix app.

Phoenix Framework Hooks are a great extension of LiveView improvements by executing custom JavaScript on the client side. It enables you to use JavaScript directly, which isn't feasible or efficient only with live view, where there is a need for dynamic behaviour.

In the Phoenix Framework context, hooks are simply a method that allows triggering JavaScript when a given element of the LiveView is rendered or updated in the DOM.

Hooks help in smoothly adding any form of interaction with the LiveView that is already painted on the browser. Most of the interaction with Phoenix LiveView is that the contents are rendered on the server side.
