Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Published

useDebounce is a custom React hook that debounces input by delaying updates to a value for a given amount of time.

Readme

UseDebounce Custom Hook

useDebounce is a custom React hook that debounces input by delaying updates to a value for a given amount of time.

Installation

  npm i use-debounce-custom-hook

Usage

useDebounce is a custom React hook that debounces input by delaying updates to a value for a given amount of time. This can be useful for optimizing performance by limiting the number of updates to a value, or for implementing debounced API calls or search queries.

To use the useDebounce hook, pass the input value and debounce timeout as arguments. The hook returns the debounced value, which can be used to update the component's state or trigger an API call.

Here is an example of how to use the useDebounce hook in a React component:

ezgif com-gif-maker

import { useDebounce } from "use-debounce-custom-hook";

function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState("")
  const debouncedValue = useDebounce(value, timer)
  return (
    <div className="App">
     <input value={value} onChange={event => setValue(event.target.value)} />
    <p>
      Debounced Value: <code>{debouncedValue}</code>
    </p>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

This component includes an input that updates the component's value state when the user types. The useDebounce hook is called with the value and debounceTimeout as arguments, and it returns the debounced value. The component then displays the debounced value in a p element.

The useDebounce hook sets a timeout to update the debounced value after the specified debounceTimeout, and it clears the timeout when the component unmounts or the value changes. This ensures that the debounced value is only updated after the specified debounceTimeout has elapsed, regardless of how often the value changes.
