Refractor code to use functional components.

[pranay-simejia]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As mentioned in React Docs after react-hook support, one should prefer using functional components.

Describe the solution you'd like

Convert all class based components to functional components.

Describe alternatives you've considered

for example, componentdDidMount can be replaced by useEffect hook.

Can I work on this issue?

@pranay-simejia I don't think this should have a priority currently. But, yeah, please wait for a maintainer to confirm/approve this issue before starting to work on the fix. Thanks 🙂

@pranay-simejia , @Rahulm2310 is correct. Right now we are trying to get this project to the MVP (minimum viable product) status. You can find more information on documentation on this zulip message.
However, how much effort do you think this requires? Also, could you check on Zulip if more community members feel like this is a priority?

@shruti1421 @pranay-simejia since we are currently focusing more on completion of MVP(minimum viable product) i don't think this issue is of much use at this moment (considering it will require change in a lot of files and can cause a blocker to other features as well as current PRs) this issue can be put to hold until we have enough features and workforce for managing the project
