useMousePosition

useMousePosition

The useMousePosition hook is a custom React hook that allows you to track the current position of the mouse cursor on the screen.

Usage

To use the useMousePosition hook, follow these steps:

Import the hook into your React component:

import { useMousePosition } from "zop-hooks";

Invoke the hook in your functional component:

const mousePosition = useMousePosition();

The mousePosition object will contain the current coordinates of the mouse cursor.

Example

Here's an example of how you can use the useMousePosition hook in a React component:

import React from "react";import { useMousePosition } from "zop-hooks";
function MousePositionComponent() {  const mousePosition = useMousePosition();
  return (    <div>      <p>Mouse X: {mousePosition.x}</p>      <p>Mouse Y: {mousePosition.y}</p>    </div>  );}
export default MousePositionComponent;

In the above example, the MousePositionComponent component uses the useMousePosition hook to track the mouse position and display it on the screen.

Implementation Details

The useMousePosition hook internally uses React's useState and useEffect hooks. It initializes the mousePosition state to { x: 0, y: 0 } and updates it whenever the mouse moves.

The useEffect hook is used to add an event listener to the mousemove event on the window object. The event listener updates the mousePosition state with the current mouse coordinates (e.clientX and e.clientY).

To clean up the event listener when the component unmounts or the hook dependencies change, the useEffect hook returns a cleanup function that removes the event listener.

Please note that this documentation assumes you have a basic understanding of React and React hooks. If you're new to React or hooks, it's recommended to read the official React documentation for more information.
