Setup

npm i @react-extra/hooks

Hooks

• useLocalStorageState
• useSessionStorageState
• useAsync
• useSafeDispatch

useLocalStorageState

This hook synchronize state with localStorage.

Example

import { useLocalStorageState } from '@react-extra/hooks'

function App() {
  const [state, setState] = useLocalStorageState(key, initialValue)
  ...
}

Parameters:

• key: localStorage key
• initialValue: the initial state to synchronize with the localStorage if the key doesn't exist there

useSessionStorageState

This hook synchronize state with sessionStorage.

Example

import { useSessionStorageState } from '@react-extra/hooks'

function App() {
  const [state, setState] = useSessionStorageState(key, intialValue)
  ...
}

Parameters:

• key: sessionStorage key
• initialValue: the initial state to synchronize with the sessionStorage if the key doesn't exist there

useAsync

const {
  isIdle,
  isLoading,
  isError,
  isSuccess,
  setData,
  setError,
  error,
  status,
  data,
  run,
  reset,
} = useAsync(initialState)

Allow you to call a Promise and set the data property with the result of the Promise once resolved, this hook indicates the status of the Promise

Parameters:

initialState: Optional object containing the initial state, by default it's value is { status: 'idle', data: null, error: null }

Return Values:

run(promise): a function that calls a promise passed in the first argument

data: contains the value returned by the promise after resolving

error: contains the error thrown by the promise

isError: a Boolean indicating if the promise rejected or not

isSuccess: a Boolean indicating if the promise succeeded or not

isLoading: a Boolean indicating if the promise is pending

status: a String indicating the status of the promise could be either 'idle', 'pending', 'rejected' or 'resolved'

setData(data): a function that mutate the data property and set the status to 'resolved'

setError(error): a function that mutate the error property and set the status to 'rejected'

reset(): a function that reset to initialState

Example

import { useAsync } from '@react-extra/hooks'

function App() {
  const { data, error, status, run } = useAsync()
  React.useEffect(() => {
    run(fetchSomeUrl())
  }, [])
  if (error) {
    return <ErrorComponent />
  }
  if (status === 'pending') {
    return <LoadingComponent />
  }
  if (status === 'resolved') {
    return <div>{data}</div>
  }
}

useSafeDispatch

This hook prevent the call of the function on an unmounted component.

Example

import { useSafeDispatch } from '@react-extra/hooks'

function App() {
  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false)
  const safeSetIsLoading = useSafeDispatch(setIsLoading)

  useEffect(() => {
    safeSetIsLoading(true)
    asyncFunction().finally(() => safeSetIsLoading(false))
  }, [safeSetIsLoading])

  return <div>{String(isLoading)}</div>
}

In the example above if the App is unmounted before asyncFunction is finished its execution the safeSetIsLoading will not call the setIsLoading witch allows to avoid the error of:

- Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component.
- This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application.
- To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in a useEffect cleanup function`.
