use-callback

npm i --save use-callback

import useCallback from 'use-callback';

function Component() {
  const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);
  const onClick = useCallback((e: React.MouseEvent<HTMLButtonElement>) => {
    setCount(count + 1);
  });

  return <button type="button" onClick={props.onClick}>Button</button>;
}

React.useCallback but without the argument lists.

The React.useCallback argument list makes sense when the function identity changes. For example if a filter prop accepts a function argument, that should be re-executed every time a 'new' filter is created. But for a callback, the behaviour of a child component should not change depending on its callback -- it just needs to execute 'the' callback (which has no identity).

This hook is created for that purpose. Use 'use-callback' for callbacks, and React.useCallback for functions where the return result is used by a component.
