Useful Reaches its First Alpha Release

I'm thrilled to announce the release of Useful, a library of React hooks to streamline your application development experience. After months of hard work and dedication, I'm excited to share this powerful tool with the React community.

What is Useful?

Useful is a collection of meticulously crafted React hooks designed to simplify and enhance your front-end development experience. Whether you're a seasoned React developer or just getting started, Useful is here to help you write cleaner, more efficient code.

Why Useful?

So, you might be wondering, "Why do we need another library of React hooks?" The answer is simple: Useful was born out of the need for a comprehensive, well-documented, and easy-to-use set of hooks that can accelerate your development process.

Here are some key reasons why you should consider using Useful:

1. Productivity Boost

Useful hooks are designed to reduce boilerplate code and provide easy-to-understand abstractions for common React patterns. This means you can focus on building features instead of writing repetitive code.

2. Extensive Documentation

We believe that good documentation is essential for any library, and Useful is no exception. Our documentation is thorough, well-structured, and includes clear examples to help you get started quickly.

3. Community-Driven

Useful is an open-source project, and we welcome contributions from the community. We believe in the power of collaboration and are excited to see how developers like you can help shape the future of this library.

Getting Started

To start using Useful, simply install it via npm or yarn:

npm install @ridgehkr/useful

Then, import the hooks you need into your React components and begin enjoying the benefits of cleaner, more maintainable code.

import { useCSSCustomProp } from '@ridgehkr/useful'

function MyComponent() {
  const themeColor = useCSSCustomProp('--theme-color')

  return <div>Current theme color: {themeColor}</div>
}

Explore Useful Hooks

Useful currently offers a variety of hooks to cover different aspects of React development, including data fetching, state management, and more. You can explore all the available hooks in the documentation.
