The useEventListener hook is a versatile tool that can be used in a wide range of scenarios. Whether you need to capture keyboard events, listen for scroll events, or interact with user input, this hook has got you covered. Its simplicity and elegance make it an ideal choice for any React project, from small-scale applications to large-scale enterprise solutions.
One of the key advantages of useDeepCompareEffect is its ability to prevent unnecessary re-renders. By performing a deep comparison between the current and previous dependencies, the hook intelligently determines if the effect should be triggered, leading to optimized performance in scenarios where shallow comparisons fall short.
The useDebugInformation hook can be applied in various scenarios. For instance, imagine you're working on a complex form component where certain props trigger updates or affect rendering. By utilizing useDebugInformation, you can easily monitor how these props impact your component's performance and whether unnecessary re-renders are occurring. Additionally, the hook can be invaluable when investigating why a specific component is not updating as expected or when fine-tuning optimizations in a performance-critical application.
This custom hook is particularly beneficial in scenarios where you need to handle user input, such as search bars or form fields, where you want to delay the execution of an action until the user has finished typing or interacting. It's also useful for optimizing network requests, ensuring that requests are sent only after the user has stopped typing or selecting options.
One of the main advantages of "useDarkMode" is its simplicity. With just a few lines of code, you can enable dark mode in your React application. By invoking this hook, you'll receive the current dark mode state and a function to toggle it.
The "useDarkMode" hook dynamically updates the HTML body class to apply the "dark-mode" styling whenever dark mode is enabled. This approach ensures consistency across all components without the need for manual class manipulation.
Copying text to the clipboard in a React application can be a tedious task. To simplify this process, I've created a powerful custom hook called useCopyToClipboard. With just a few lines of code, this hook streamlines the copy-to-clipboard functionality, providing developers with a hassle-free solution.
One of the key advantages of this custom hook is the ability to update the cookie value. The updateCookie function, returned by useCookie, enables you to modify the value of the cookie. By invoking this function with a new value and optional options, such as expiration or path, you can instantly update the cookie.
The potential applications for useClickOutside are endless. It is particularly useful when implementing modal windows, dropdown menus, or any element that should be closed when a user interacts with anything outside of it. By incorporating useClickOutside, you can enhance the user experience by providing intuitive and efficient interactions.
By utilizing useAsync, you can streamline your React codebase, enhance reusability, and maintain a consistent and reliable user experience. Give it a try in your next React project and witness the power of simplified asynchronous operations.
In this article series, we embark on a journey through the realm of custom React hooks, discovering their immense potential for elevating your development projects. Our focus today is on the "useArray" hook, one of the many carefully crafted hooks available in the collection of React custom hooks.
React Content Elements is a JavaScript library that enhances the development experience by providing an additional layer for creating HTML structures and CSS styles.

With over 20 carefully crafted hooks at your disposal, I personally utilize these hooks in my own work projects, and now I'm excited to share them with you. From enhancing functionality to streamlining workflows, these custom hooks are designed to empower developers and deliver user-friendly experiences. Join us on this journey as we unleash the power of these 20+ hooks and unlock new levels of productivity and innovation in your React projects.
Not long ago, I started my personal blog. Instead of opting for the traditional route of using the popular WordPress CMS for blogs, I decided to embrace new technologies. My choice landed on Next.js and a NoSQL-type database.
Microfrontend as it supposed to be: Single Page Application, Server-side rendering and Independent deployments.
Example that proves it's possible using React 18 + Suspense on server and Webpack Module Federation
React Native is a popular JavaScript library for creating mobile applications for both Android and iOS devices. One of the most useful components that you can use in React Native is a color picker. A color picker allows users to select a specific color from a range of colors. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a color picker in React Native.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to select photos in a React Native application using the popular library react-native-image-picker. We will cover setting up a new React Native project, installing the library, getting permissions for the camera and library, and selecting and taking photos.
Foreword
This tutorial is intended primarily for those new to Frontity (React framework for WordPress) development.
Primary goal
Collect in one place all the necessary information for setting up authorization for WordPress private endpoints using the example of getting a menu collection (wp-json/wp/v2/menus).
An example of using Electron + React JS and a native ffmpeg addon to access a webcamera
This guide may be helpful to someone who is trying to find a way
to work with Electron if they need to use a c++ library or code
I was looking for a more realistic example than a simple 'hello world' and i didn't succeed
Here are the links in advance:
- electron - https://github.com/khomin/electron_camera_ffmpeg
- addon - https://github.com/khomin/electron_ffmpeg_addon_camera
So let me share my experience...
In the first part of You don't know Redis, I built an app using Redis as a primary database. For most people, it might sound unusual simply because the key-value data structure seems suboptimal for handling complex data models.
In practice, the choice of a database often depends on the application’s data-access patterns as well as the current and possible future requirements.
Redis was a perfect database for a Q&A board. I described how I took advantage of sorted sets and hashes data types to build features efficiently with less code.
Now I need to extend the Q&A board with registration/login functionality.
I will use Redis again. There are two reasons for that.
Firstly, I want to avoid the extra complexity that comes with adding yet another database.
Secondly, based on the requirements that I have, Redis is suitable for the task.
Important to note, that user registration and login is not always about only email and password handling. Users may have a lot of relations with other data which can grow complex over time.
Despite Redis being suitable for my task, it may not be a good choice for other projects.
Always define what data structure you need now and may need in the future to pick the right database.
As a side hustle, I teach tech recruiters web and software development technologies using plain English. It helps them with understanding job specs and resumes and it makes all of us, tech people, happier.
I run a weekly newsletter and often get feedback from recruiters via email or LinkedIn DMs.
I thought that I could try to collect feedback using the “Reactions†feature just like LinkedIn or Facebook does. It’s not as informative as personalised messages but is a simple feature that may incentivize more people to provide some general feedback.
Either way, it’s worth trying and as a software developer, I can’t wait to implement it.
This tutorial is about implementing a feature that will be used in real life on my project.
