use-set-timeout v1.0.4

useSetTimeout

A React Hook (using useEffect) which uses window.setTimeout().

Synopsis

In your React component:

import { useState } from 'react'
import useSetTimeout from "use-set-timeout"

function SetTimeout() {
  const [ triggered, setTriggered ] = useState(false)

  useSetTimeout(() => { setTriggered(true) }, 5 * 1000)

  return <p>triggered = { triggered }</p>
}

There is no need to keep a reference to the timeout ID since it will be automatically cleared when the component unmounts.

Please note that the timeout is cleared and reset if you change the timeout ms but not if you change the function fn.

Usage

useSetTimeout(fn, delay)

• fn is a function to execute
• delay is the delay in milliseconds
