🎯 What is React Hooks Core?
React Hooks Core is a comprehensive collection of production-ready React hooks designed to solve common problems you face when building modern React and Next.js applications. Instead of reinventing the wheel for every project, React Hooks Core provides battle-tested, well-documented hooks that work out of the box.
Whether you're building a SaaS platform, e-commerce site, dashboard, or any production application, React Hooks Core helps you ship faster with fewer bugs and better user experiences.
💼 Built for Production
Why Production Projects Need React Hooks Core
Every production React application faces the same challenges:
- Device Detection - Need to know if users are on mobile, tablet, or desktop to optimize layouts and features
- Network Monitoring - Handle offline scenarios gracefully, show connection status, sync data when back online
- User Activity Tracking - Implement auto-logout for security, pause expensive operations when idle
- Responsive Design - Build adaptive UIs that respond to viewport changes and system preferences
- Performance Optimization - Adapt content quality based on network speed, battery level, and device capabilities
React Hooks Core solves these problems with hooks that are:
- ✅ SSR-Compatible - Works seamlessly with Next.js App Router and Pages Router
- ✅ Type-Safe - Full TypeScript support with proper generics and inference
- ✅ Well-Tested - Comprehensive test coverage ensuring reliability
- ✅ Production-Ready - Used in real-world applications, not just demos
- ✅ Zero Dependencies - Lightweight and performant
- ✅ Tree-Shakeable - Import only what you need, keep bundle sizes minimal
🚀 How React Hooks Core Helps Your Production Projects
⚡ Faster Development
Stop rewriting the same logic for every project. React Hooks Core provides ready-to-use hooks that handle edge cases, error scenarios, and browser compatibility issues you might miss. Focus on building features, not infrastructure.
🐛 Fewer Bugs
Every hook in React Hooks Core is thoroughly tested with comprehensive test suites covering initialization, SSR compatibility, state updates, error handling, cleanup, and edge cases. This means fewer bugs in production and more confidence in your code.
📦 Optimized Bundle Size
Tree-shakeable imports mean you only bundle what you use. Zero dependencies keep your bundle size minimal. Perfect for production applications where every kilobyte matters.
🎯 Better User Experience
React Hooks Core hooks respect user preferences and device capabilities. Detect system dark mode, respect reduced motion preferences, adapt to network conditions, and optimize for battery life. Your users will notice the difference.
🔒 Enhanced Security
Built-in features like idle detection help you implement security best practices like auto-logout, session management, and activity monitoring without additional complexity.
🌐 Universal Compatibility
Works with React 18+ and Next.js 13+ (both App Router and Pages Router). SSR-compatible out of the box, so you don't have to worry about hydration mismatches or server-side rendering issues.
✨ Key Features
- ✅ TypeScript First - Full type safety with generics and proper inference
- ✅ SSR Compatible - Works seamlessly with Next.js 13+ (App Router & Pages Router)
- ✅ Tree-Shakeable - Import only what you need, keep bundle sizes minimal
- ✅ Zero Dependencies - Lightweight and performant
- ✅ Well Tested - 92+ tests with comprehensive coverage on critical hooks
- ✅ Production Ready - Used in real-world applications
- ✅ Accessibility First - Respects user preferences (reduced motion, contrast, etc.)
- ✅ Error Resilient - Graceful fallbacks and comprehensive error handling
- ✅ Performance Optimized - Minimal re-renders and efficient event handling
📦 Installation
npm install react-hooks-coreyarn add react-hooks-corepnpm add react-hooks-core🚀 Quick Start
All hooks work out of the box with zero configuration. Simply import what you need:
import { useDeviceDetect, useOnline, useIdle, useMediaQuery } from 'react-hooks-core'Tree-shakeable imports mean you only bundle what you use, keeping your production bundle size minimal.
📚 Available Hooks
React Hooks Core provides hooks across multiple categories to help you build production-ready applications:
🌐 Browser & Device Hooks
Monitor device capabilities, network status, user activity, and system preferences to build adaptive, responsive applications.
- Device Detection - Detect device type, operating system, and browser environment
- Network Monitoring - Real-time online/offline status and connection quality
- User Activity - Track user inactivity for security and performance optimization
- Media Queries - Listen to CSS media queries in JavaScript for responsive logic
- Network Speed - Adapt content quality based on connection speed
- Battery Status - Optimize features based on device battery level
- Geolocation - Access user location with proper permission handling
