@web-im/react

Client-side React hooks and a tiny generic context. Zero non-React deps.

pnpm add @web-im/react react react-dom
# or
npm install @web-im/react react react-dom

ESM only. React 18+ peer.

Imports

import { useDebouncedValue, useTimeout } from '@web-im/react/hooks';
import { AppProvider, useAppContext } from '@web-im/react/contexts';
// or flat barrel:
import { useDebouncedValue, AppProvider } from '@web-im/react';

Hooks

useDebouncedValue<T>(value, delay = 300): T

const debounced = useDebouncedValue(query, 300);

useEffect(() => {
  fetchResults(debounced);
}, [debounced]);

useDebounceEffect(fn, waitTime, deps)

useEffect with a debounce. Runs fn(...deps) after waitTime ms of stillness.

useDebounceEffect(([q]) => {
  search(q);
}, 250, [query]);

useTimeout(callback, delay | null)

Setup a one-shot timer that uses the latest callback. Pass null to pause.

useTimeout(() => setVisible(false), open ? 3000 : null);

useInterval(callback, delay | null)

Same as useTimeout but recurring.

useInterval(() => refetch(), 5000);

useIsomorphicLayoutEffect

useLayoutEffect in browsers, useEffect during SSR.

useIsomorphicLayoutEffect(() => measureLayout(), [size]);

useMounted(): () => boolean

const isMounted = useMounted();
fetch('/x').then(r => { if (isMounted()) setData(r); });

useIsInit(): boolean

true on first render, false thereafter.

if (useIsInit()) {
  console.log('first paint');
}

useIsMobile(): boolean

Tracks window.innerWidth < 768 via matchMedia.

const isMobile = useIsMobile();
return isMobile ? <MobileNav/> : <DesktopNav/>;

useCountdown(date)

const { days, hours, minutes, seconds } = useCountdown('2026-12-31T23:59:59Z');

useScript(src, options?): 'idle' | 'loading' | 'ready' | 'error'

Inject a <script> tag once and watch its load state.

const status = useScript('https://js.stripe.com/v3/', { position: 'head-end' });
if (status === 'ready') initStripe();

useTabs<T>(defaultTab)

const { currentTab, setCurrentTab, onChangeTab } = useTabs(0);

<Tabs value={currentTab} onChange={onChangeTab}>...</Tabs>

useTable(props?)

Table state for sort/paginate/select. Plus three pure helpers: descendingComparator, getComparator, emptyRows.

const t = useTable({ defaultOrderBy: 'created_at', defaultRowsPerPage: 10 });

const sorted = [...rows].sort(getComparator<Row>(t.order, 'created_at'));
const empty  = emptyRows(t.page, t.rowsPerPage, rows.length);

Contexts

AppProvider<T> / useAppContext<T>()

Generic state container — useful as a building block when you don't need a reducer.

import { AppProvider, useAppContext } from '@web-im/react/contexts';

type State = { count: number };

function Counter() {
  const { state, setState } = useAppContext<State>();

  return (
    <button onClick={() => setState({ count: state.count + 1 })}>
      {state.count}
    </button>
  );
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <AppProvider initial={{ count: 0 }}>
      <Counter/>
    </AppProvider>
  );
}

useAppContext throws if used outside <AppProvider>.
