+Executes a callback whenever the window is resized.
+
+- Use the `useRef()` hook to create a variable, `listener`, which will hold the listener reference.
+- Use the `useEffect()` hook and `EventTarget.addEventListener()` to listen to the `'resize'` event of the `Window` global object.
+- Use `EventTarget.removeEventListener()` to remove any existing listeners and clean up when the component unmounts.
+
+```jsx
+const useOnWindowResize = callback => {
+  const listener = React.useRef(null);
+
+  React.useEffect(() => {
+    if (listener.current)
+      window.removeEventListener('resize', listener.current);
+    listener.current = window.addEventListener('resize', callback);
+    return () => {
+      window.removeEventListener('resize', listener.current);
+    };
+  }, [callback]);
+};
+```
+
+```jsx
+const App = () => {
+  useOnWindowResize(() =>
+    console.log(`window size: (${window.innerWidth}, ${window.innerHeight})`)
+  );
+  return <p>Resize the window and check the console</p>;
+};
+
+ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
+  <App />
+);
+```
