@volvo-cars/react-utils

A collection of general-purpose React hooks and utilities that don't belong to a more specific package.

What's included

• usePrevious — Returns the previous value of a prop or state variable after a re-render. Useful for comparing before/after values in effects
• useKeyPress — Attaches a keydown event listener on mount and calls the provided callback when any of the specified key(s) are pressed. Accepts an array of key names or a legacy comma- or space-delimited string
• useInterval — Sets up a setInterval that is automatically cleared on unmount. Accepts a callback and a delay in milliseconds
• useComposedRefs / composeRefs — Merges multiple React refs (callback refs or ref objects) into a single ref. Useful when a component needs to forward a ref while also using one internally
• useDismiss — Controls the visibility and dismissal state of a dismissible element, with optional persistence across the browser session via the Cookie Store API
