Stores the previous state or props.
|
|
|
|
- Create a custom hook that takes a `value`.
|
|
- Use the `useRef()` hook to create a `ref` for the `value`.
|
|
- Use the `useEffect()` hook to remember the latest `value`.
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
const usePrevious = value => {
|
|
const ref = React.useRef();
|
|
React.useEffect(() => {
|
|
ref.current = value;
|
|
});
|
|
return ref.current;
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```jsx
|
|
const Counter = () => {
|
|
const [value, setValue] = React.useState(0);
|
|
const lastValue = usePrevious(value);
|
|
|
|
return (
|
|
<div>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Current: {value} - Previous: {lastValue}
|
|
</p>
|
|
<button onClick={() => setValue(value + 1)}>Increment</button>
|
|
</div>
|
|
);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
|
|
<Counter />
|
|
);
|
|
```
