[React-use](https://github.com/streamich/react-use) is the package that provides many useful react hooks that we can use to build the UI more efficiently. It provides the hooks related sensors, ui, animations, side-effects, lifecycles, state and etc.

Sensors

useGeolocation — tracks geo location state of user’s device. 
useHover and useHoverDirty — tracks mouse hover state of some element. 
useHash — tracks location hash value. 
useIdle — tracks whether user is being inactive.
useIntersection — tracks an HTML element’s intersection. 
useKey, useKeyPress, useKeyboardJs, and useKeyPressEvent — track keys. 
useLocation and useSearchParam — tracks page navigation bar location state.
useLongPress — tracks long press gesture of some element.
useMedia — tracks state of a CSS media query. 
useMediaDevices — tracks state of connected hardware devices.
useMotion — tracks state of device’s motion sensor.
useMouse and useMouseHovered — tracks state of mouse position. 
useMouseWheel — tracks deltaY of scrolled mouse wheel. 
useNetworkState — tracks the state of browser’s network connection. 
useOrientation — tracks state of device’s screen orientation.
usePageLeave — triggers when mouse leaves page boundaries.
useScratch — tracks mouse click-and-scrub state.

useScrolling — tracks whether HTML element is scrolling.
useStartTyping — detects when user starts typing.
useWindowScroll — tracks Window scroll position. 
useWindowSize — tracks Window dimensions. 
useMeasure and useSize — tracks an HTML element’s dimensions. 
createBreakpoint — tracks innerWidth
useScrollbarWidth — detects browser’s native scrollbars width. 
UI

useAudio — plays audio and exposes its controls. 
useClickAway — triggers callback when user clicks outside target area.
useCss — dynamically adjusts CSS.
useDrop and useDropArea — tracks file, link and copy-paste drops.
useFullscreen — display an element or video full-screen. 
useSlider — provides slide behavior over any HTML element. 
useSpeech — synthesizes speech from a text string. 
useVibrate — provide physical feedback using the Vibration API. 
useVideo — plays video, tracks its state, and exposes playback controls. 
Animations

useRaf — re-renders component on each requestAnimationFrame.
useInterval and useHarmonicIntervalFn — re-renders component on a set interval using setInterval.
useSpring — interpolates number over time according to spring dynamics.
useTimeout — re-renders component after a timeout.
useTimeoutFn — calls given function after a timeout. 
useTween — re-renders component, while tweening a number from 0 to 1. 
useUpdate — returns a callback, which re-renders component when called.
Side-effects

useAsync, useAsyncFn, and useAsyncRetry — resolves an async function.
useBeforeUnload — shows browser alert when user try to reload or close the page.
useCookie — provides way to read, update and delete a cookie. 
useCopyToClipboard — copies text to clipboard.
useDebounce — debounces a function. 
useError — error dispatcher. 
useFavicon — sets favicon of the page.
useLocalStorage — manages a value in localStorage.
useLockBodyScroll — lock scrolling of the body element.
useRafLoop — calls given function inside the RAF loop.
useSessionStorage — manages a value in sessionStorage.
useThrottle and useThrottleFn — throttles a function. 
useTitle — sets title of the page.
usePermission — query permission status for browser APIs.
Lifecycles

useEffectOnce — a modified useEffect hook that only runs once.
useEvent — subscribe to events.
useLifecycles — calls mount and unmount callbacks.
useMountedState and useUnmountPromise — track if component is mounted.
usePromise — resolves promise only while component is mounted.
useLogger — logs in console as component goes through life-cycles.
useMount — calls mount callbacks.
useUnmount — calls unmount callbacks.
useUpdateEffect — run an effect only on updates.
useIsomorphicLayoutEffect — useLayoutEffect that does not show warning when server-side rendering.
useDeepCompareEffect, useShallowCompareEffect, and useCustomCompareEffect — run an effect depending on deep comparison of its dependencies
State

createMemo — factory of memoized hooks.
createReducer — factory of reducer hooks with custom middleware.
createReducerContext and createStateContext — factory of hooks for a sharing state between components.
useDefault — returns the default value when state is null or undefined.
useGetSet — returns state getter get() instead of raw state.
useGetSetState — as if useGetSet and useSetState had a baby.
useLatest — returns the latest state or props
usePrevious — returns the previous state or props. 
usePreviousDistinct — like usePrevious but with a predicate to determine if previous should update.
useObservable — tracks latest value of an Observable.
useRafState — creates setState method which only updates after requestAnimationFrame. 
useSetState — creates setState method which works like this.setState. 
useStateList — circularly iterates over an array. 
useToggle and useBoolean — tracks state of a boolean. 
useCounter and useNumber — tracks state of a number. 
useList and useUpsert — tracks state of an array. 
useMap — tracks state of an object. 
useSet — tracks state of a Set. 
useQueue — implements simple queue.
useStateValidator — tracks state of an object. 
useStateWithHistory — stores previous state values and provides handles to travel through them. 
useMultiStateValidator — alike the useStateValidator, but tracks multiple states at a time. 
useMediatedState — like the regular useState but with mediation by custom function. 
useFirstMountState — check if current render is first. 
useRendersCount — count component renders. 
createGlobalState — cross component shared state.
useMethods — neat alternative to useReducer. 
Miscellaneous

useEnsuredForwardedRef and ensuredForwardRef — use a React.forwardedRef safely.
