useObservedRef

This is an internal library to facilitate the use of Observers in hooks

Installation

You typically don't use this library directly.

Usage

import { useObservedRef } from './use-observed-ref'

export function useObserver() { 
  const [state, setState] = React.useState(null)
  const createObserver = React.useCallback(
    () => {
      // @ts-ignore
      return new window.Observer(([entry]) => {
        setState(entry)
      })
    },
    []
  );

  const reset = React.useCallback(() => { setState(null) }, [])
  const ref = useObservedRef({ createObserver, reset, disabled: false })

  return { state, ref }
}

You can use the disabled option if you want to disable the Observer entirely after a successful callback. E.g.: you want to test if something enters the viewport, but don't to know when it leaves again.

Disclaimer

This library is intended for internal use, we provide no support, use at your own risk. It does not import React, but expects it to be provided, which @kaliber/build can handle for you.

This library is not transpiled.
