useRef

/*
	A common use case is to access a child imperatively: 
*/

function TextInputWithFocusButton() {
  const inputEl = useRef(null);
  const onButtonClick = () => {
    // `current` points to the mounted text input element
    inputEl.current.focus();
  };
  return (
    <>
      <input ref={inputEl} type="text" />
      <button onClick={onButtonClick}>Focus the input</button>
    </>
  );
}

react useEffect

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';

function LifecycleDemo() {
  // It takes a function
  useEffect(() => {
    // This gets called after every render, by default
    // (the first one, and every one after that)
    console.log('render!');

    // If you want to implement componentWillUnmount,
    // return a function from here, and React will call
    // it prior to unmounting.
    return () => console.log('unmounting...');
  }, [ // dependencies to watch = leave blank to run once or you will get a stack overflow  ]);

  return "I'm a lifecycle demo";
}

function App() {
  // Set up a piece of state, just so that we have
  // a way to trigger a re-render.
  const [random, setRandom] = useState(Math.random());

  // Set up another piece of state to keep track of
  // whether the LifecycleDemo is shown or hidden
  const [mounted, setMounted] = useState(true);

  // This function will change the random number,
  // and trigger a re-render (in the console,
  // you'll see a "render!" from LifecycleDemo)
  const reRender = () => setRandom(Math.random());

  // This function will unmount and re-mount the
  // LifecycleDemo, so you can see its cleanup function
  // being called.
  const toggle = () => setMounted(!mounted);

  return (
    <>
      <button onClick={reRender}>Re-render</button>
      <button onClick={toggle}>Show/Hide LifecycleDemo</button>
      {mounted && <LifecycleDemo/>}
    </>
  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App/>, document.querySelector('#root'));

use state vs use ref

The main difference between both is : useState causes re-render, useRef does not.
