React Native Hooks is a library that exposes React Native APIs as React Hooks for use in functional components.
The library solves the problem of accessing React Native's asynchronous APIs within functional components, which previously required class components or wrapper patterns. It wraps platform APIs like app state, keyboard visibility, device orientation, and back handler events into hooks that can be called directly in functional component bodies, allowing developers to manage side effects and state in a more declarative way.
Developers building React Native applications with functional components should consider this library if they need to interact with native platform APIs. The tool is suitable for projects that have adopted React Hooks as their primary pattern and require access to features like app lifecycle events, keyboard management, device orientation detection, image dimension queries, accessibility information, layout measurements, and refresh control. The library requires React Native version 0.59.0 or later.
The project uses Changesets for managing releases and versioning, indicating a structured approach to version control and changelog management. The repository maintains a contributors list, showing ongoing community involvement in its development.
