Same as React's useCallback, but returns a stable reference.

This library is a user-land implementation of the useEvent hook, proposed in this RFC.

npm install react-use-event-hook

(this example was copied from the RFC)

You can wrap any event handler into useEvent.

import useEvent from 'react-use-event-hook'; function Chat() { const [text, setText] = useState(''); const onClick = useEvent(() => { sendMessage(text); }); return <SendButton onClick={onClick} />; }

The code inside useEvent “sees” the props/state values at the time of the call. The returned function has a stable identity even if the props/state it references change. There is no dependency array.
