# useMemoOne [`useMemo`](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usememo) and [`useCallback`](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usecallback) with a stable cache (semantic guarantee) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/alexreardon/use-memo-one.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/alexreardon/use-memo-one) [![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/use-memo-one.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/use-memo-one) [![dependencies](https://david-dm.org/alexreardon/use-memo-one.svg)](https://david-dm.org/alexreardon/use-memo-one) [![min](https://img.shields.io/bundlephobia/min/use-memo-one.svg)](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=use-memo-one) [![minzip](https://img.shields.io/bundlephobia/minzip/use-memo-one.svg)](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=use-memo-one) ## Background `useMemo` and `useCallback` cache the most recent result. However, this cache can be destroyed by `React` when it wants to: > You may rely on useMemo as a performance optimization, **not as a semantic guarantee**. In the future, **React may choose to “forget” some previously memoized values** and recalculate them on next render, e.g. to free memory for offscreen components. Write your code so that it still works without useMemo — and then add it to optimize performance. [- React docs](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usememo) `useMemoOne` and `useCallbackOne` are `concurrent mode` safe alternatives to `useMemo` and `useCallback` **that do provide semantic guarantee**. What this means is that you will always get the same reference for a memoized value so long as there is no input change. Using `useMemoOne` and `useCallbackOne` will consume more memory than `useMemo` and `useCallback` in order to provide a stable cache. `React` can release the cache of `useMemo` and `useCallback`, but `useMemoOne` will not release the cache until it is garbage collected. ## Install ```bash # npm npm install use-memo-one --save # yarn yarn add use-memo-one ``` ## Usage ```js import { useMemoOne, useCallbackOne } from 'use-memo-one'; function App(props) { const { name, age } = props; const value = useMemoOne(() => ({ hello: name }), [name]); const getAge = useCallbackOne(() => age, [age]); // ... } ``` ### Aliased imports You can use this `import` style drop in replacement for `useMemo` and `useCallback` This style also plays very well with [`eslint-plugin-react-hooks`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks). ```js import { useMemo, useCallback } from 'use-memo-one'; ``` ⚠️ The aliased exports `useMemo` and `useCallback` will only work if you use _only_ `use-memo-one` and will clash if you also use `useMemo` or `useCallback` from `react` ```js import { useMemo, useCallback } from 'react'; // ❌ naming clash import { useMemo, useCallback } from 'use-memo-one'; ``` ## API See [`useMemo`](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usememo) and [`useCallback`](https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usecallback) ## Linting `useMemo` and `useCallback` have fantastic linting rules with auto fixing in the [`eslint-plugin-react-hooks`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-hooks) package. In order to take advantage of these with `useMemoOne` and `useCallbackOne`, structure your import like this: ```js import { useMemo, useCallback } from 'use-memo-one'; // Or your can alias it yourself import { useMemoOne as useMemo, useCallbackOne as useCallback, } from 'use-memo-one'; function App() { const [isActive] = useState(false); const onClick = useCallback(() => { console.log('isActive', isActive); // the input array will now be correctly checked by eslint-plugin-react-hooks }, [isActive]); } ``` ## [`eslint`](https://eslint.org/) rules Here are some `eslint` rules you are welcome to use ```js module.exports = { rules: { // ...other rules 'no-restricted-imports': [ 'error', { // If you want to force an application to always use useMemoOne paths: [ { name: 'react', importNames: ['useMemo', 'useCallback'], message: '`useMemo` and `useCallback` are subject to cache busting. Please use `useMemoOne`', }, // If you want to force use of the aliased imports from useMemoOne { name: 'use-memo-one', importNames: ['useMemoOne', 'useCallbackOne'], message: 'use-memo-one exports `useMemo` and `useCallback` which work nicer with `eslint-plugin-react-hooks`', }, ], }, ], }, }; ```
