TypeScript typings are included (No @types/ package needed)

Usage

Basic Usage

import useMergedRef from '@stackmeister/react-use-merged-ref'

const App = () => {
  const scrollingRef = useScrolling()
  const { ref: touchRef } = useTouchControls()
  const { calc, ref: calcRef } = useCalc()
  const ref = useMergedRef(scrollingRef, touchRef, calcRef)

  return (
    <div ref={ref}>
      Hello World!
    </div>
  )
}

Easy to encapsulate

import useMergedRef from '@stackmeister/react-use-merged-ref'

const useAppThings = () => {
  const scrollingRef = useScrolling()
  const { ref: touchRef } = useTouchControls()
  const { calc, ref: calcRef } = useCalc()

  return {
    calc,
    ref: useMergedRef(scrollingRef, touchRef, calcRef)
  }
}

const App = () => {
  const { calc, ref } = useAppThings()

  return (
    <div ref={ref}>
      Hello World!
    </div>
  )
}
