title: useInterval
tags: hooks,effect,intermediate
---
A hook that implements `setInterval` 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 interval and clean up.
```jsx
const useInterval = (callback, delay) => {
const savedCallback = React.useRef();
React.useEffect(() => {
savedCallback.current = callback;
}, [callback]);
React.useEffect(() => {
function tick() {
savedCallback.current();
}
if (delay !== null) {
let id = setInterval(tick, delay);
return () => clearInterval(id);
}
}, [delay]);
};
```
```jsx
const Timer = props => {
const [seconds, setSeconds] = React.useState(0);
useInterval(() => {
setSeconds(seconds + 1);
}, 1000);
return <p>{seconds}</p>;
};
ReactDOM.render(<Timer />, document.getElementById('root'));
```
