Usage

Mouse coordinates { x: 0, y: 0 }

import { Text, Code, Group, Box } from '@asuikit/core';
import { useMouse } from '@asuikit/hooks';

function Demo() {
  const { ref, x, y } = useMouse();

  return (
    <>
      <Group position="center">
        <Box
          ref={ref}
          w={300}
          h={180}
          sx={(theme) => ({
            backgroundColor:
              theme.colorScheme === 'dark' ? theme.colors.dark[5] : theme.colors.gray[1],
          })}
        />
      </Group>
      <Text align="center">
        Mouse coordinates <Code>{`{ x: ${x}, y: ${y} }`}</Code>
      </Text>
    </>
  );
}

If you do not provide ref mouse position will be captured relative to document element:

Mouse coordinates { x: 0, y: 0 }

import { Text, Code } from '@asuikit/core';
import { useMouse } from '@asuikit/hooks';

function Demo() {
  const { x, y } = useMouse();

  return (
    <Text align="center">
      Mouse coordinates <Code>{`{ x: ${x}, y: ${y} }`}</Code>
    </Text>
  );
}

API

Set resetOnExit option to reset mouse position to 0, 0 when mouse leaves the element

const { ref, x, y } = useMouse({ resetOnExit: true });

Hook returns object with ref and x, y mouse coordinates:

const {
  ref, // -> pass ref to target element, if not used document element will be used as target element
  x, // -> mouse x position
  y, // -> mouse y position
} = useMouse();

On the first render (as well as during SSR), both x and y values are equal to 0.

Definition

function useMouse<T extends HTMLElement = any>(options?: {
  resetOnExit?: boolean;
}): {
  x: number;
  y: number;
  ref: React.MutableRefObject<T>;
};
