streamich/react-use

react-use — essential React hooks library. ~100 utility hooks that should arguably ship with React itself.

What it is

A TypeScript library of ~100 reusable React hooks covering common needs: useDebounce, useThrottle, useLocalStorage, useSessionStorage, useMedia, useNetworkState, useGeolocation, useIdle, useWindowSize, useClickAway, many more. Saves teams from reinventing each of these.

Key features

~100 hooks covering UI state, browser APIs, lifecycle, sensors, animation, network.
TypeScript types bundled.
Tree-shakable — import only what you use.
Unlicense.

Tech stack

TypeScript primary.
npm package: react-use.

When to reach for it

You're a React team and want a vetted utility-hooks library.

When not to reach for it

You only need 1-2 hooks — copy them inline rather than depending.
You want a smaller alternative — @uidotdev/usehooks, usehooks-ts.

Maturity signal

Actively maintained.

Alternatives

@uidotdev/usehooks, usehooks-ts — alternatives with overlapping coverage.
VueUse (for Vue) — similar concept.
