React-Redux - Hooks API

I'm trying to configure my new react-redux application to use the new features of React-Redux. The official documentation says

React Redux now offers a set of hook APIs as an alternative to the existing connect() Higher Order Component.

I have been trying to find some helping articles related to Hooks API with some real examples but all react-redux Apps are using connect function. Official documentation also shows very basic examples.

I want to change the connect functions in my App with useSelector (offered by Hooks API).

Here is an example code snippet from my application.

//MessagesListContainer
export default connect(
  // mapStateToProps
  (state:State) => ({
    activeUser: getActiveUser(state),   
    messages: getMessagesList(state),   
  })
)(MessagesList)

//Selectors
export const getActiveUser = (state: State) => state.activeUser;
export const getMessagesList = (state : State) => (
  Object.keys(state.messages).map((key : any)=> state.messages[key])
)

export interface IMessagesListProps {
  activeUser?: User;
  messages?: Message[];
}
/**
 *  Messages List
 */
export default class MessagesList extends PureComponent<IMessagesListProps> {
.
.
.
}

Hooks API facilitates function components, so I nested my class component inside a function component like this:

//messages-list.container.tsx
//MessagesListContainer
export const MessagesListContainer = () => {
   const activeUser= useSelector((state:State) => getActiveUser(state));
   const messages= useSelector((state:State) => getMessagesList(state));
   return <MessagesList activeUser={activeUser} messages={messages} />
}


//Selectors
export const getActiveUser = (state: State) => state.activeUser;
export const getMessagesList = (state : State) => (
  Object.keys(state.messages).map((key : any)=> state.messages[key])
)

//end of messages-list.container.tsx

//messages-list.component.tsx
export interface IMessagesListProps {
  activeUser?: User;
  messages?: Message[];
}
/**
 *  Messages List
 */
export default class MessagesList extends PureComponent<IMessagesListProps> {
.
.
.
}

As per my perception, it's better to keep the last level components isolated from the store.

Hooks are not compatible with Class components. To use Hooks, you convert the class components to function components. For instance, your code can be refactored to 

/**
 *  Messages List
 */

const getActiveUser = (state: State) => state.activeUser;
const getMessagesList = (state : State) => (Object.keys(state.messages).map((key : any)=> state.messages[key]));

const MessagesList: React.FC = () => {
  const activeUser = useSelector(getActiveUser);
  const messagesList = useSelector(getMessagesList);

  ....
}

export default MessagesList;
