useHover Hook

The useHover hook is a utility for detecting hover interactions in React components. It simplifies the process of tracking when a user's mouse pointer hovers over an element.

Features

- Hover State Management: Tracks hover state of an element.
- Ref-based Implementation: Attaches event listeners using a React ref, ensuring compatibility with React's DOM handling.
- Server-Side Rendering Compatibility: Safe for use in SSR environments by avoiding direct DOM interactions unless the component is mounted in the browser.
- Optimized Event Handling: Uses useCallback to memoize event handlers for performance optimization.

Installation

Importing the Hook

The useHover hook must be imported using a named import as shown below:

Named Import:
`javascript
import { useHover } from '@custom-react-hooks/use-hover';
`
This approach ensures that the hook integrates seamlessly into your project, maintaining consistency and predictability in how you use our package.




Usage

`typescript
import { useHover } from '@custom-react-hooks/all';

function HoverComponent() {
const { ref, isHovered } = useHover();

return (


);
}

export default HoverComponent;
`

In this example, the useHover hook provides a way to determine if a particular div is being hovered.
