react-hanger

⚠️ Warning: hooks are not part of a stable React release yet, so use this library only for experiments ⚠️

Install

yarn add react-hanger

Usage

import React, { Component } from "react";

import {
  useInput,
  useBoolean,
  useNumber,
  useArray,
  useOnMount,
  useOnUnmount
} from "react-hanger";

const App = () => {
  const newTodo = useInput("");
  const showCounter = useBoolean(true);
  const limitedNumber = useNumber(3, { lowerLimit: 0, upperLimit: 5 });
  const counter = useNumber(0);
  const todos = useArray(["hi there", "sup", "world"]);

  const rotatingNumber = useNumber(0, {
    lowerLimit: 0,
    upperLimit: 4,
    loop: true
  });

  useOnMount(() => console.log("hello world"));
  useOnUnmount(() => console.log("goodbye world"));

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={showCounter.toggle}> toggle counter </button>
      <button onClick={counter.increase}> increase </button>
      {showCounter.value && <span> {counter.value} </span>}
      <button onClick={counter.decrease}> decrease </button>
      <button onClick={todos.clear}> clear todos </button>
      <input
        type="text"
        value={newTodo.value}
        onChange={newTodo.onChange}
      />
    </div>
  );
};

useStateful

Just an alternative syntax to useState, because it doesn't need array destructuring.
It returns an object with value and a setValue method.

const username = useStateful("test");

username.setValue("tom");
console.log(username.value);

useOnMount

const App = () => {
  useOnMount(() => console.log("hello world"));
  return <div> hello world </div>;
};

useOnUnmount

const App = () => {
  useOnUnmount(() => console.log("goodbye world"));
  return <div> goodbye world </div>;
};

useLifecycleHooks

const App = () => {
  useLifecycleHooks({
    onMount: () => console.log("mounted!"),
    onUnmount: () => console.log("unmounted!")
  });

  return <div> hello world </div>;
};

useBoolean

const showCounter = useBoolean(true);

Methods:

• toggle
• setTrue
• setFalse

useNumber

const counter = useNumber(0);
const limitedNumber = useNumber(3, { upperLimit: 5, lowerLimit: 3 });
const rotatingNumber = useNumber(0, {
  upperLimit: 5,
  lowerLimit: 0,
  loop: true
});

Methods:

Both increase and decrease take an optional amount argument which is 1 by default, and will override the step property if it's used in the options.

• increase(amount = 1)
• decrease(amount = 1 )

Options:

• lowerLimit
• upperLimit
• loop
• step - sets the increase/decrease amount of the number upfront, but it can still be overriden by number.increase(3) or number.decrease(5)

useInput

const newTodo = useInput("");

<input value={newTodo.value} onChange={newTodo.onChange} />

<input {...newTodo.bindToInput} />
<Slider {...newTodo.bind} />

Methods:

• clear
• onChange
• bindToInput - binds the value and onChange props to an input that has e.target.value
• bind - binds the value and onChange props to an input that's using only e in onChange (like most external components)

Properties:

• hasValue

useArray

const todos = useArray([]);

Methods:

• add
• clear
• removeIndex
• removeById

useSetState

const { state, setState } = useSetState({ loading: false });
setState({ loading: true, data: [1, 2, 3] });

Methods:

• setState(value) - will merge the value with the current state (like this.setState works in React)

Properties:

• state - the current state

usePrevious

Use it to get the previous value of a prop or a state value.
It's from the official React Docs.
It might come out of the box in the future.

const Counter = () => {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  const prevCount = usePrevious(count);
  return (
    <h1>
      Now: {count}, before: {prevCount}
    </h1>
  );
};
