react-use

What is react-use?

The react-use package is a collection of essential React hooks that provide a variety of functionalities to manage state, lifecycle, and side effects in functional components. It simplifies the process of creating complex components by abstracting common behavior into reusable hooks.

What are react-use's main functionalities?

State Management

Manage state with local storage persistence using useLocalStorage hook.

const [state, setState] = useLocalStorage('my-key', initialValue);

Lifecycle and Side Effects

Handle component lifecycle events with useEffectOnce hook.

useEffectOnce(() => { console.log('Component mounted'); return () => console.log('Component will unmount'); });

Sensors

Access sensor data like battery status using useBattery hook.

const state = useBattery();

Animations

Create animations with useSpring hook.

const [style, play] = useSpring({ from: { opacity: 0 }, to: { opacity: 1 } });

UI State

Control UI state such as fullscreen mode with useFullscreen hook.

const [isFullscreen, toggleFullscreen] = useFullscreen(ref);

Other packages similar to react-use

recompose

Recompose is a React utility belt for function components and higher-order components. It's similar to react-use in that it provides a set of helpers for creating and manipulating components, but it does not focus exclusively on hooks.

react-powerhooks

React-powerhooks offers a set of hooks that can be used to manage state and lifecycle in React components, similar to react-use. However, react-use has a broader range of hooks, including those for sensors and UI state management.
