Introduction

The Problem

In modern React development, custom hooks are superpowers. They let you encapsulate behavior, share logic across components, and build on a foundation of clean, reusable code. But that power comes with a challenge. Great hooks are scattered across blog posts, GitHub gists, and npm packages of varying quality. It's time-consuming to evaluate each one, understand its edge cases, and decide if it's right for your project.

• Clean, production-ready source code you can copy with confidence.
• A clear explanation of how it works and why it's built that way.
• Real-world use cases and examples.
• Considerations about pitfalls and performance.
• Thoughtful comparisons to alternative approaches or similar hooks.
