useState hook, which exposes a similar interfaceStores a key/value pair statefully in localStorage.
key string Identifier to associate the stored value with.initialValue (T | function (): T | null) Value used when no item exists with the given key. Lazy initialization is available by using a function which returns the desired value. (optional, default null)errorCallback function (error: (DOMException | TypeError)): void? Method to execute in case of an error, e.g. when the storage quota has been exceeded or trying to store a circular data structure.function Component() {
const [visitCount, setVisitCount] =
useLocalStorage < number > ('visitCount', 0);
useEffect(() => {
setVisitCount((count) => count + 1);
}, []);
// ...
}
Returns [T, React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<T>>] A statefully stored value, and a function to update it.
useState hook, which exposes a similar interfaceStores a key/value pair statefully in sessionStorage.
key string Identifier to associate the stored value with.initialValue (T | function (): T | null) Value used when no item exists with the given key. Lazy initialization is available by using a function which returns the desired value. (optional, default null)errorCallback function (error: (DOMException | TypeError)): void? Method to execute in case of an error, e.g. when the storage quota has been exceeded or trying to store a circular data structure.function Component() {
const [name, setName] = useSessionStorage < string > ('name', 'Anonymous');
// ...

Listens to an event while the enclosing component is mounted.
target EventTarget Target to listen on, possibly a DOM element or a remote service connector.type string Name of event (case-sensitive).callback EventListener Method to execute whenever the event fires.options AddEventListenerOptions? Additional listener characteristics.function Component() {
useEventListener(window, 'error', () => {
console.log('A resource failed to load.');
});
// ...
}
Returns void
Repeatedly calls a function with a fixed time delay between each call.
š Timings may be inherently inaccurate, due to the implementation of setInterval under the hood.
callback function (): void Method to execute periodically.delayMs (number | null) Time, in milliseconds, to wait between executions of the specified function. Set to null for pausing.function Component() {
useInterval(() => {
// Custom logic to execute each second
}, 1000);
// ...
}
Returns void
Avoid layout thrashing by debouncing or throttling high frequency events, e.g. scrolling or mouse movements
Move non-primitive hook parameters to an outer scope or memoize them with useMemo, e.g.:
const geolocationOptions = { enableHighAccuracy: true };
function Component() {
const geolocation = useGeolocation(geolocationOptions);
// ...
}
