@react-hook/throttle NPM

A React hook for performantly throttling setState and other callbacks.

Quick Start

import {useThrottle, useThrottleCallback} from '@react-hook/throttle'

const Component = (props) => {
  // at a basic level, used just like useState
  const [value, setValue] = useThrottle('initialValue')
}

const useMyCallback = (initialState, wait, leading) => {
  // this is the same code useThrottle() uses to throttle setState
  const [state, setState] = useState(initialState)
  return [state, useThrottleCallback(setState, wait, leading)]
}

API

useThrottle(initialState, fps?, leading?)

A hook that acts just like React.useState, but with a setState function that is only invoked at most X frames per second. A trailing call is guaranteed, but you may opt-in to calling on the leading edge, as well.

export const useThrottle = <State>(
  initialState: State | (() => State),
  fps?: number,
  leading?: boolean
): [State, Dispatch<SetStateAction<State>>]

Arguments

Property	Type	Default	Description
initialState	`State \| (() => State)`		The initial state provided to `React.useState()`
fps	`number`	`30`	Defines the rate in frames per second with which `setState` is invoked with new state
leading	`boolean`	`false`	Calls `setState` on the leading edge (right away). When `false`, `setState` will not be called until the next frame is due

Returns `[state, setState]`

Variable	Type	Description
state	`State`	The current value in state
setState	`Dispatch<SetStateAction<State>>`	A throttled `setState` callback

useThrottleCallback(callback, fps?, leading?)

A hook that invokes its callback at most X frames per second. A trailing call is guaranteed, but you may opt-in to calling on the leading edge, as well.

export const useThrottleCallback = <Callback extends (...args: any[]) => void>(
  callback: Callback,
  fps = 30,
  leading = false
): Callback

Arguments

Property	Type	Default	Description
callback	`((...args: CallbackArgs) => void)`		This is the callback you want to throttle. You need to wrap closures/unstable callbacks in `useCallback()` so that they are stable, otherwise throttling will break between renders.
fps	`number`	`30`	Defines the rate in frames per second with which `setState` is invoked with new state
leading	`boolean`	`false`	Calls `setState` on the leading edge (right away). When `false`, `setState` will not be called until the next frame is due
