reactuse is a collection of essential React hooks for everyday development. Fully typed, tree-shakeable and built around a consistent API — whether you need debounce, local storage, media queries or device sensors, there is probably a hook for it.
Every hook follows the same shape, so once you learn one you already know the rest. Options go in, a small object comes out, and the ref is always there when you need to attach to a DOM node.
Take useScroll. It gives you a reactive snapshot of the scroll position, the direction of travel, and the arrived edges — top, bottom, left and right — without any manual math.
Wire the callback straight to the DOM and you never pay for a rerender. Update styles imperatively as the user scrolls, exactly like you would with a mouse-driven spotlight.
The arrived state flips the moment a user reaches an edge. No off-by-one threshold bugs, no scrollHeight juggling scattered across effects — the hook already did the work.
Directions reveal intent. Is the user scrolling up or down right now? That single bit of information powers hiding headers, lazy loading and scroll-triggered animations.
Because the value is a snapshot, you opt into rerenders only when you actually want them. Read it imperatively, or watch it — the choice stays with you.
