use-jquery-plugin

React hook for using jQuery plugins in components

About

use-jquery-plugin simplifies hook-based usage of jQuery plugins in React.

The hook useJQueryPlugin() is the same as useLayoutEffect(), but it returns a reference object to be passed to an HTML element. The effect passed to useJQueryPlugin() is provided with the jQuery selection containing the HTML element that the reference is assigned.

Install

npm

npm i use-jquery-plugin

unpkg

<script src="https://unpkg.com/use-jquery-plugin"></script>

Usage

import React from 'react';
import useJQueryPlugin from 'use-jquery-plugin';

export default function App() {
  const elemRef = useJQueryPlugin($elem => {
    $elem.find('h1').css('font-family', 'Comic Sans');
  }, []);

  return (
    <article ref={elemRef}>
      <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
    </article>
  );
}
