use-debounce-hook

A simple and lightweight React hook for debouncing values.
Useful when you need to delay state updates (e.g., while typing in an input field) to avoid unnecessary operations (API requests, filtering, etc.).

Installation

npm install use-debounce-hook
# or
yarn add use-debounce-hook

Usage

       import React, { useState } from "react";
       import { useDebounce } from "use-debounce-hook";

       export default function MyComponent() {
              const [value, setValue] = useState("");
              const debouncedValue = useDebounce(value, 500); // 500ms delay

              return (
                     <div>
                            <input
                                   value={value}
                                   onChange={({ target }) => setValue(target.value)}
                                   placeholder="Type something..."
                            />
                            <p>Normal value: {value}</p>
                            <p>Debounced value: {debouncedValue}</p>
                     </div>
              );
       }
