title: useTimeout
tags: hooks,effect,intermediate
---
A hook that implements `setTimeout` in a declarative manner.
- Create a custom hook that takes a `callback` and a `delay`.
- Use the `React.useRef()` hook to create a `ref` for the callback function.
- Use the `React.useEffect()` hook to remember the latest callback.
- Use the `Rect.useEffect()` hook to set up the timeout and clean up.
```jsx
const useTimeout = (callback, delay) => {
const savedCallback = React.useRef();
React.useEffect(() => {
savedCallback.current = callback;
}, [callback]);
React.useEffect(() => {
function tick () {
savedCallback.current();
}
if (delay !== null) {
let id = setTimeout(tick, delay);
return () => clearTimeout(id);
}
}, [delay]);
};
```
```jsx
const OneSecondTimer = (props) => {
const [seconds,setSeconds] = React.useState(0);
useTimeout(() => {
setSeconds(seconds + 1);
}, 1000);
return (
<p>{seconds}</p>
);
}
ReactDOM.render(
<OneSecondTimer />,
document.getElementById('root')
);
```
