@rooks/use-mutation-observer-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

A hook that tracks mutations of an element. It returns a callbackRef.

Installation

npm install --save @rooks/use-mutation-observer-ref

Importing the hook

import useMutationObserverRef from "@rooks/use-mutation-observer-ref"

function Demo() {
  const [mutationCount, setMutationCount] = useState(0);
  const incrementMutationCount = () => {
    return setMutationCount(mutationCount + 1);
  };
  const [myRef] = useMutationObserver(myRef, incrementMutationCount);
  const [XOffset, setXOffset] = useState(0);
  const [YOffset, setYOffset] = useState(300);
