What I learned

• I implemented my very first custom react hook to renders components conditionally based on the viewport width.

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";

export default function useWindowSize() {
  const [windowSize, setWindowSize] = useState({ width: window.innerWidth });

  useEffect(() => {
    const handleResize = () => {
      setWindowSize({ width: window.innerWidth });
    };
    window.addEventListener("resize", handleResize);
    return () => window.removeEventListener("resize", handleResize);
  }, []);
  return windowSize;
}

Continued development

Useful resources

• Gemini - This AI helped me finally understand how to conditionally render components in react based on the viewport width. I'd recommend it to anyone still learning this concept.
