@rooks/use-fresh-ref

Note: Future updates to this package have moved to the main package rooks. All hooks now reside in a single package which you can install using

npm install rooks

or

yarn add rooks

Rooks is completely treeshakeable and if you use only 1 of the 50+ hooks in the package, only that hook will be bundled with your code. Your bundle will only contain the hooks that you need. Cheers!

About

Avoid stale state in callbacks with this hook. Auto updates values using a ref.

Installation

npm install --save @rooks/use-fresh-ref

Importing the hook

import useFreshRef from "@rooks/use-fresh-ref"

Usage

function Demo() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState(5)
  function increment(){
    setValue(value + 1)
  }
  const freshIncrementRef = useFreshRef(increment);
  
  useEffect(() => {
    function tick(){
      freshIncrementRef.current();
    }
    const intervalId = setInterval(tick,1000)
    return clearInterval(intervalId)
  }, [])

  return null
}
