useMediaQuery Hook

The useMediaQuery hook is designed for responsive design in React applications. It enables components to adapt to different screen sizes or respond to media query changes.

Features

• Dynamic Media Queries: Accepts any valid CSS media query string.
• SSR Compatibility: Safe for server-side rendering, as it checks for the availability of the window object.
• Efficient and Optimized: Only updates component state when media query match status changes.
