You can of course use Map as usual in a useState() hook.
But you have to be careful if it comes to updating the map. Following code snippet should work for you 😉
const MapStateComponent = () => {
const [mapState, setMapState] = useState(new Map());
const updateMap = (key, value) => {
setMapState(map => new Map(map.set(key, value)));
}
// ...
}
