useUpdateEffect Hook

The useUpdateEffect hook is an enhanced version of React's useEffect that is triggered only when dependencies update, skipping the effect on the component's initial mount. It's particularly useful for effects that need to run in response to specific changes after the initial rendering.

Features

- Skips Initial Render: Executes the effect only on updates, not during the initial component mount.
- Custom Cleanup Function: Similar to useEffect, it allows for a cleanup function to be returned from the effect.
- Compatible with SSR: Designed to work seamlessly in server-side rendering environments.

Installation

$3

``bash
npm install @custom-react-hooks/use-update-effect
`

or

`bash
yarn add @custom-react-hooks/use-update-effect
`

$3

`sh
npm install @custom-react-hooks/all
`

or

`sh
yarn add @custom-react-hooks/all
`

Importing the Hook

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

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




Usage

`typescript
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useUpdateEffect } from '@custom-react-hooks/all';

const UpdateEffectComponent = () => {
const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
const [message, setMessage] = useState('');

useUpdateEffect(() => {
setMessage(Effect ran at count: ${count});
}, [count]);

return (


);
};

export default UpdateEffectComponent;
`
