React Hooks Libraries Worth Installing
Jul 18, 2026 · 6 min read
A good hooks package replaces copy-pasted utilities. A bad one hides a second UI runtime. Here is how to tell them apart.
Prefer tiny, typed utilities
Install a hooks library for debounce, local storage, and media queries if you would otherwise rewrite them in every app.
Skip packages that pull in a component kit you do not need. Check the dependency tree on npm.
SSR and React Native
Window and document hooks must no-op or lazy-init on the server. React Native support is a plus if you share code across platforms.
