# react-use-event-hook
Same as React's `useCallback`, but returns a stable reference.

This library is a user-land implementation of the `useEvent` hook, [proposed in this RFC](https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/blob/useevent/text/0000-useevent.md).

# Installation

```sh
npm install react-use-event-hook
```

# Usage
(this example was copied from the RFC)

You can wrap any event handler into `useEvent`.

```js
import useEvent from 'react-use-event-hook';

function Chat() {
  const [text, setText] = useState('');

  const onClick = useEvent(() => {
    sendMessage(text);
  });

  return <SendButton onClick={onClick} />;
}
```

The code inside `useEvent` “sees” the props/state values at the time of the call. 
The returned function has a stable identity even if the props/state it references change. 
There is no dependency array.
