Implements `setTimeout()` in a declarative manner.
- Create a custom hook that takes a `callback` and a `delay`.
- Use the `useRef()` hook to create a `ref` for the callback function.
- Use the `useEffect()` hook to remember the latest callback.
- Use the `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(() => {
const 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.createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(
<OneSecondTimer />
);
```
