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 />
|
|
);
|
|
```
