## 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: (e) => void) {
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
window.addEventListener(event, handler)
|
||||
return () => window.removeEventListener(event, handler)
|
||||
}, [event, handler])
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct (stable subscription):**
|
||||
|
||||
```tsx
|
||||
function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: (e) => void) {
|
||||
const handlerRef = useRef(handler)
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
handlerRef.current = handler
|
||||
}, [handler])
|
||||
|
||||
useEffect(() => {
|
||||
const listener = (e) => handlerRef.current(e)
|
||||
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: (e) => 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.
