UseSessionStorage Hook Guide

The useSessionStorage hook is a powerful tool for managing session storage in React applications. It allows you to persist data across page reloads without the need for cookies or local storage.

Features

Persistent Data: Data stored using useSessionStorage remains available even after the page is refreshed.
Easy to Use: The hook provides a simple API for reading and writing data to session storage.
TypeSafe: The hook supports TypeScript, providing type safety for your session storage data.

Installation

To use useSessionStorage, you need to install the use-session-storage package:

npm install use-session-storage

Or if you are using yarn:

yarn add use-session-storage

Usage

Here's an example of how to use the useSessionStorage hook:

import { useSessionStorage } from 'use-session-storage';

const [value, setValue] = useSessionStorage('key', 'default value');

// To set a value
setValue('new value');

// To get a value
console.log(value);
