@buildinams/use-window-size

use-window-size

Hook to get the viewport bounds (width and height).

Introduction

This hook optimizes window resize event handling by:

• Only initializing a single event listener for all instance of the hook used.
• Throttling how often the event resize handler fires (Max 200ms between calls).

This library is also SSR safe, and only runs on the client.

Install this package with npm.

npm i @buildinams/use-window-size

Usage

To use this hook, simply import it and use it like a normal React hook.

import useWindowSize from "@buildinams/use-window-size";

const { width, height } = useWindowSize();

API

On first render this hooks returns 0 for both window width and height and then returns window width and height once is mounted.

Requirements

This library requires a minimum React version of 17.0.0.
