Conditionally enable/disable tracking?

[Nantris]

This is an awesome package and thank you very much for it.

I am using it in a case where I only need to track the cursor in very select circumstances, and I'd love a way to disable the tracking when it's not needed to reduce re-renders.

I can conditionally load it, but that means unmounting and remounting the child components which has some side effects. Is there anything I can do about CPU usage?

Thanks again very much.

Hi @slapbox - Thanks for your kind words and for your suggestion. I very much appreciate it. Having a disable feature seems like a useful option. I will get to work on it and post back here when it is ready.

@slapbox - Support for enabling and disabling has landed in v2.3.0. Please give it a try and let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

@slapbox - I'm going to close this as fixed. Thanks again for opening the issue and raising my awareness to the use case. I really appreciate it. If you find react-cursor-position useful, please consider starring it on GitHub. Starring helps to grow the project, which is good for everyone.
