useDebounce.ts
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

export function useDebounce<T>(value: T, delay: number): T {
  const [debouncedValue, setDebouncedValue] = useState<T>(value);

  useEffect(() => {
    const handler = setTimeout(() => {
      setDebouncedValue(value);
    }, delay);

    return () => {
      clearTimeout(handler);

  return debouncedValue;
}
Usage Example
// Usage Example
import { useDebounce } from './useDebounce';

function SearchComponent() {
  const [searchTerm, setSearchTerm] = useState("");
  const debouncedSearchTerm = useDebounce(searchTerm, 500);

  useEffect(() => {
    if (debouncedSearchTerm) {
      // API call to search
      console.log("Searching for:", debouncedSearchTerm);
    }
  }, [debouncedSearchTerm]);

  return <input onChange={e => setSearchTerm(e.target.value)} />;
}

Writing robust, type-safe custom React hooks takes time and often involves remembering edge cases (like clearing timeouts or handling SSR localStorage).

This tool provides instant access to the most commonly used custom React hooks, fully implemented in TypeScript with best practices included. Just pick the hook you need and copy the code directly into your project.
