It is cover for html-js utils.

Abstract

The use-html package includes a react hook that allows you to access an HTML element and a set of html-js utilities for manipulating the DOM.

Features

• Manipulation with DOM.
• Call to clear function before new rendering.

For more features see html-js library.

Example

You can use the useHtml hook to access a DOM element. The builder function implements element management. Inside you can use the html-js utility.

export const Component: React.FC = () => {
  const ref = useHtml(element => { /* DOM manipulations */ });
  
  return <div ref={ref} />;
};

useHtml accepts a method that can return a cleanup function.

const builder: HtmlBuilder<HTMLDivElement> = element => {
  const unsubscriber = subscribe(element, {
    click: () => console.log('Click')
  });

  /* DOM manipulations */

  return unsubscriber;
};

export const Component: React.FC = () => {
  const ref = useHtml(builder);
  
  return <div ref={ref} />;
};

Uses

This package contains several hooks that will help you access DOM elements:

• useHtml() - base hook.
• useLayoutHtml() - like useLayoutEffect().

Its usage is similar to useRef().

const builder = () => { ... };

export const Component: React.FC = () => {
  const ref = useHtml(builder);
  
  return <div ref={ref} />;
};

The builder function is passed as an argument, which implements DOM manipulation and returns a cleanup function.

const builder: HtmlBuilder<HTMLDivElement> = element => {
  /* DOM manipulations */
  return () => { /* clean function */ };
};

You can pass multiple builders as an array.

const ref = useHtml([builder1, builder2, builder3]);

Transferred builder need to be memoized or store in variable.

const builder = () => { ... };
/* or const builder = [builder1, builder2, builder3]; */

export const Component: React.FC = () => {
  const ref = useHtml(builder);
  ...
};

You can also pass dependencies as the second argument, if necessary.

const ref = useHtml(builder, [deps1, deps2]);

Lastly, use the html-js utility in builders.
