## Store Event Handlers in Refs
|
|
|
|
Store callbacks in refs when used in effects that shouldn't re-subscribe on callback changes.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (re-subscribes on every render):**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
window.addEventListener(event, handler)
|
|
return () => window.removeEventListener(event, handler)
|
|
}, [event, handler])
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Correct (stable subscription):**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
|
|
const handlerRef = useRef(handler)
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
handlerRef.current = handler
|
|
}, [handler])
|
|
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
const listener = () => handlerRef.current()
|
|
window.addEventListener(event, listener)
|
|
return () => window.removeEventListener(event, listener)
|
|
}, [event])
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Alternative: use `useEffectEvent` if you're on latest React:**
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { useEffectEvent } from 'react'
|
|
|
|
function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: () => void) {
|
|
const onEvent = useEffectEvent(handler)
|
|
|
|
useEffect(() => {
|
|
window.addEventListener(event, onEvent)
|
|
return () => window.removeEventListener(event, onEvent)
|
|
}, [event])
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`useEffectEvent` provides a cleaner API for the same pattern: it creates a stable function reference that always calls the latest version of the handler.
