react-use-updated-value

React hooks for values that get updated by event triggers or time intervals.

useEventValue

To get a value from whenever an event triggers.

Parameters

• event: The name of the event to listen for
• callback: A function that takes the event as the only parameter and returns the value to get. If passing a function literal, it should be wrapped in useCallback
• initialValue: Optional, set the default value before the event is triggered for the first time

Example Usage

// Get the mouse X and Y
const [mouseX, mouseY] = useEventValue('mousemove', useCallback(event => [event.clientX, event.clientY], []), [0, 0]);

const divRef = useRef(null);
// Get the height of a div whenever the page is resized
const height = useEventValue('resize', useCallback(() => divRef.current.offsetHeight, []));

<div ref={divRef}>{/*...*/}</div>

useIntervalValue

To update a value repeatedly .

Parameters

• timeout: The delay between each update in milliseconds, e.g. 1000 means update once per second.
• callback: A function that returns the new value. If passing a function literal, it should be wrapped in useCallback
• initialValue: Optional, set the default value before callback is run the first time. If not specified, callback will run on initialization to get the initial value.

Example Usage

// Update the time every second
const time = useInterval(1000, Date.now);
