Here's a simple example demonstrating how to use mouse-follow:

import React from 'react';

import useMouseFollow from 'mouse-follow';

const FollowExample = () => {
const divRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)
    useMouseFollow(divRef, {
    boundaryX: 400,
    boundaryY: 400,
    duration: 2000,
    follow: true,
  })

  return (
    <div
      ref={divRef}
       style={{
        width: '50px',
        height: '50px',
        backgroundColor: 'blue',
        borderRadius: '50%',
        position: 'absolute',
      }}
