useWindowSize Hook

The useWindowSize hook is designed for responsive React applications, providing an easy way to track changes in window size. It includes debouncing for performance optimization and is compatible with server-side rendering.

Features

• Responsive Design Support: Facilitates the development of responsive components.
• Debounced Resize Events: Limits the frequency of resize event handling to improve performance.
• SSR Compatibility: Safely handles scenarios where the window object is not available, such as server-side rendering.

Installation

Installing Only Current Hooks

npm install @custom-react-hooks/use-window-size

or

yarn add @custom-react-hooks/use-window-size

Installing All Hooks

npm install @custom-react-hooks/all

or

yarn add @custom-react-hooks/all

Importing the Hook

The useWindowSize hook must be imported using a named import as shown below:

Named Import:

import { useWindowSize } from '@custom-react-hooks/use-window-size';

This approach ensures that the hook integrates seamlessly into your project, maintaining consistency and predictability in how you use our package.

Usage

import { useWindowSize } from '@custom-react-hooks/all';

const WindowSizeComponent = () => {
  const { width, height } = useWindowSize(100);

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Current Window Size:</h2>
      <div>
        <p>
          Width: <span>{width}</span>
        </p>
        <p>
          Height: <span>{height}</span>
        </p>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};
export default WindowSizeComponent;

In this example, the useWindowSize hook is used to track the size of the browser window. The debounce delay is set to 200 milliseconds to optimize performance.
