Use Bool
A simple React hook for storing boolean
state
Contents
Installation
If using yarn
yarn add @helpful-hooks/use-bool
For npm
npm install @helpful-hooks/use-bool
Usage
The hook returns an array similar to React
's useState
hool. The first item contains the boolean
state. The second item contains helper functions for setting the stored value.
const [
state, // Initially false by default
stateHandlers
] = useBool()
const {
on, // Set to true
off, // Set to false
toggle, // Switch between true and false
set, // Use like a React setState function
} = stateHandlers
Here is a simple example demonstrating how useBool
can be used to show and hide a component
import { useBool } from '@helpful-hooks/use-bool'
// ...
const [show, showHandlers] = useBool()
return (
<>
<button onClick={stateHandlers.toggle}>
TOGGLE
</button>
{show ? 'I am visible!' : null}
</>
)
To set an initial value, pass it as the first argument. The intial value is false by default
const [state] = useBool(true)
// state === true
This hook also supports callbacks which are run when a change in state is made
const onTurnedOff = () => console.log('state === false')
const onTurnedOn = () => console.log('state === true')
const [state, stateHandlers] = useBool(
// Or false for default behaviour
true,
// Pass the callbacks as the second argument
{ onTurnedOff, onTurnedOn },
)
