Purpose

The Hooks Tool Pack aims to provide developers with a set of reusable custom React hooks that simplify common tasks and enhance the overall development experience.

By reducing boilerplate code and promoting best practices, these hooks help developers build more efficient and maintainable React applications.

It is designed to be framework-agnostic, making it suitable for use in various React-based projects (built with Vite, for example), also including those built with popular meta-frameworks like Next.js and Remix.

# Using npm
