use-isomorphic-layout-effect

What is use-isomorphic-layout-effect?

The use-isomorphic-layout-effect package is a React hook that provides a cross-environment (both browser and server) version of useEffect, which falls back to useEffect during server-side rendering (SSR). This is useful for code that must use layout effects but should not run or cause errors during SSR, such as when using Next.js or other SSR frameworks.

What are use-isomorphic-layout-effect's main functionalities?

Isomorphic layout effect

This feature allows you to write layout effects that work in both the browser and server environments. The hook will use useLayoutEffect when in the browser and useEffect when on the server, preventing errors during SSR.

import useIsomorphicLayoutEffect from 'use-isomorphic-layout-effect';

function MyComponent() {
  useIsomorphicLayoutEffect(() => {
    // Your layout effect logic here
  }, []);

  return <div>My Component</div>;
}
