Summary of contents

My reactions:

• 1-useToggle and 5-useArray are great starter apps for custom hook writing
• 3-useDebounce very useful. Uses 2-useTimeout
• 4-useUpdateEffect supplies the "missing case" from useEffect(): run it the first time only
• 8-useStorage Save time writing session and localStorage routines
• 9-useAsync Reporting handler for an async call (loading/error states, value)
• 10-useFetch Same as 9 but specifically for fetch
• 18-useStateWithValidation looks useful for forms
• 11-useScript for importing a script (e.g. jQuery) from React code
• 13-useEventListener Demo that shows current keypress; not sure how it's useful
• 15-useWindowSize hook for general purpose event listening (?)
• 19-useSize uses special DOM function ResizeObserver. Listens for all the changing values width, height, top, bottom, etc, and reports them back.
• 20-useEffectOnce Covers a case that useEffect doesn't have, to run only once.
• 21-useClickOutside employs 13-useEventListener. Don't know what its for.
• 22-useDarkMode employs 8-useStorage and 16-useMediaQuery. All it does is toggle a CSS style?
• 23-useCopyToClipboard: uses npm package copy-to-clipboard.
