The useDebugValue hook is used in React to provide additional debugging information for custom hooks. It allows you to display custom values for a hook in React DevTools.
Here's how you can use the useDebugValue hook in your custom hook:
- Import the useDebugValue hook from the 'react' package:
import { useDebugValue } from 'react';
- Inside your custom hook, call the useDebugValue hook with the value that you want to display in React DevTools. For example, if you have a custom hook that fetches data from an API, you can use the useDebugValue hook to display the URL that is being fetched:
function useFetchData(url) {
useDebugValue(url);
// Your hook logic here
}
- When you inspect your component in React DevTools, you will see the custom value displayed next to your custom hook. This can help you debug your custom hooks and understand what values they are using.
