@fluentui/react-utilities
Advanced tools
A set of general React-specific utilities.
Package description
@fluentui/react-utilities is a utility library for React that provides a set of helper functions and hooks to simplify common tasks when building Fluent UI components. It includes utilities for handling accessibility, styling, and other common React patterns.
Accessibility Utilities
The `useId` hook generates a unique ID that can be used for accessibility purposes, such as associating labels with form elements.
import { useId } from '@fluentui/react-utilities';
function AccessibleComponent() {
const id = useId('example');
return <div id={id}>Accessible Content</div>;
}
Styling Utilities
The `mergeClasses` function allows you to combine multiple class names into a single string, which is useful for applying multiple styles to a component.
import { mergeClasses } from '@fluentui/react-utilities';
const className = mergeClasses('class1', 'class2');
function StyledComponent() {
return <div className={className}>Styled Content</div>;
}
Event Handling Utilities
The `useEventCallback` hook creates a stable callback function that can be used in event handlers, ensuring that the function reference does not change between renders.
import { useEventCallback } from '@fluentui/react-utilities';
function EventComponent() {
const handleClick = useEventCallback((event) => {
console.log('Button clicked', event);
});
return <button onClick={handleClick}>Click Me</button>;
}
The `classnames` package provides a simple utility for conditionally joining class names together. It is similar to the `mergeClasses` function in @fluentui/react-utilities but focuses solely on class name manipulation.
The `react-aria` package provides a collection of React hooks for building accessible components. It offers more comprehensive accessibility utilities compared to @fluentui/react-utilities, which includes only basic accessibility hooks.
The `emotion` package is a library designed for writing CSS styles with JavaScript. It offers more advanced styling capabilities compared to the basic styling utilities in @fluentui/react-utilities.
