Delays updating a value until a specified amount of time has passed
import {useDebounce} from 'react-beautiful-hooks-library'

const func = () => {
console.log("this needs to be debounced");
}
const debouncedFunction = useDebounce(func, 100);
return (<YourComponents />);
}
Leverages the BroadcastChannel API to enable real-time communication between different tabs or windows of the same origin
import {useBroadcastChannel} from 'react-beautiful-hooks-library'
export default function App() {
const {messages, sendMessage, isConnected} = useBroadcastChannel("channel name")
return (<YourComponents />);
}
Combines useRef and useCallback to dynamically assign and track a reference (ref) to a DOM element or component instance. It is useful when you need to perform actions when a ref changes
import {useRefCallback} from 'react-beautiful-hooks-library'
export default function App() {
const [message, sendMessage] = useState("");
const func = () => {
setMessage("hello world");
}
const refCallbackFunc = useRefCallback(func, [message]);
return (<YourComponents onClick={refCallbackFunc} />);
}
Tracks the previous value of a state.
import {usePrevious} from 'react-beautiful-hooks-library'
export default function App() {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const prevCount = usePrevious(count);
return (
<div>
<p>Current: {count}</p>
<p>Previous: {prevCount ?? "N/A"}</p>
<button onClick={() => setCount((prev) => prev + 1)}>Increment</button>
</div>
);
}
Executes polling for a given function
import {usePolling} from 'react-beautiful-hooks-library'
function App() {
const { start, pause, stop, result } = usePolling(async () => {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); // Simulating async delay
return "hello";
}, 5000);
useEffect(() => {
start();
return () => stop();
}, []);
return (
<>
<h1>{result}</h1>
<button onClick={pause}>Pause</button>
<button onClick={start}>Resume</button>
<button onClick={stop}>Stop</button>
</>
);
}
export default App;
