useEscapeKey(handleEscapeCallback);

Properties

Prop	Type	Description	Default
`callback`	`function`	Callback executed when `EscapeKey` is pressed.
`optional`	`object`	Optional argument passed to function with implementation specifications. See supported parameters for useEventHandler.

useMutationObserver

Example

import { useMutationObserver } from '@leafygreen-ui/hooks';

const lastTimeContentElMutated = useMutationObserver(
  target,
  mutationOptions,
  () => Date.now(),
  adjustOnMutation,
);

Properties

Prop	Type	Description	Default
`target`	`HTMLElement`, `null`	`HTMLElement` to subscribe to changes to.
`options`	`MutationObserverInit`	Object with information about what DOM changes to subscribe to. Docs here
`callback`	`function`	Callback function to execute inside of MutationObserver instance.

useViewportSize

Hook to subscribe to changes in viewport size

Example

const viewportSize = useViewportSize();

usePoller

Hook to create a Poller that polls at a given interval.

If your onPoll handler returns a Promise it will wait for the Promise to resolve or reject before scheduling the next interval.

This hooks also makes use of the Page Visibility API. If the page is hidden then polling will stop. When a page becomes visible again then polling will resume.

Example

import { usePoller } from '@leafygreen-ui/hooks';

usePoller(onPoll, {
  interval: 30000,
  immediate: true,
  enabled: true,
});

Properties

Prop	Type	Description	Default
`onPoll`	`function`	Callback executed when poll interval occurs.
`optional.interval`	`number`	What interval the onPoll should be called.	`30000`
`optional.immediate`	`boolean`	If we immediately poll, if false we wait till first interval occurs.	`true`
`optional.enabled`	`boolean`	Is polling enabled.	`true`

usePrevious

Hook to retrieve a value from the previous render.

Example

import { usePrevious } from '@leafygreen-ui/hooks';

const Example = ({nextValue: number}) => {
  const value = usePrevious(nextValue);

  return <div>{value}</div>;
}

// First render
<Example nextValue={42} />  // will render an empty `div`

// Second render
<Example nextValue={2020} />  // will render "42"

// Third render
<Example nextValue={0} />  // will render "2020"

useIsomorphicLayoutEffect

Drop-in replacement for useLayoutEffect that does not produce warnings during server-side rendering. If your project uses the react-hooks/exhaustive-deps ESLint rule, it's recommended to add useIsomorphicLayoutEffect to the additionalHooks of the rule. Example:

  rules: {
    'react-hooks/exhaustive-deps': [
      'warn',
      {
        additionalHooks: '(useIsomorphicLayoutEffect)'
      }
    ]
  }

useIdAllocator

Generates an SSR-compatible unique id based on a prefix string and an optional idProp parameter.

Example

import { useIdAllocator } from '@leafygreen-ui/hooks';

useIdAllocator({ prefix: 'select-component', id: idProp });

useForwardedRef

Returns a MutableRefObject from the forwarded ref.

Example

import { useForwardedRef } from '@leafygreen-ui/hooks';

const MyComponent = React.forwardRef((props, forwardedRef) => {
  const ref = useForwawrdedRef(forwardedRef, null);
});

Properties

Prop	Type	Description	Default
`forwardedRefOrRefs`	`SettableRef`, `Array<SettableRef>`, `null`	The forwarded ref
`initialValue`	`T`	Initial value of the ref

useDynamicRefs

useDynamicRefs is a hook that allows you to create multiple refs for dynamically created elements. Use the prefix property to create multiple sets of dynamic refs.

Example

import { useDynamicRefs } from '@leafygreen-ui/hooks';

const getRef = useDynamicRefs();
...
return ['a','b','c'].map(x => {
  const divRef = getRef(x)
  return <div ref={divRef}>{x}</div>
})
