The useTimer hook is a powerful tool in the en/docs/hooks library that allows you to manage timers within your React applications. It is especially useful for implementing timeouts, intervals, or delays.

Features

  • Timeouts: Schedule a callback to be executed after a specified delay.
  • Intervals: Execute a callback at regular intervals.
  • Clearing Timers: Clean up timers to prevent memory leaks.

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use the useTimer hook:

import { useTimer } from 'en/docs/hooks';

function App() {
  useTimer({
    timeout: 5000,
    onTimeout: () => alert('Timer expired!'),
  });

  return <div>Timer active...</div>;
}

Arguments

  • timeout: The delay before the callback is executed (in milliseconds).
  • interval: The delay between each execution of the callback (if using intervals) (in milliseconds).
  • onTimeout: The callback function to be executed when the timer expires.
  • onInterval: The callback function to be executed at each interval.
