Dioxus Hooks

Overview

dioxus-hooks includes some basic useful hooks for Dioxus such as:

  • use_signal
  • use_effect
  • use_resource
  • use_memo
  • use_coroutine

Unlike React, none of these hooks are foundational since they all build off the primitive use_hook. You can extend these hooks with custom hooks in your own code. If you think they would be useful for the broader community, you can open a PR to add your hook to the Dioxus Awesome list.

State Cheat Sheet

If you aren't sure what hook to use, you can use this cheat sheet to help you decide:

State Location

Depending on where you need to access the state, you can put your state in one of three places:

Location Where can you access the state? Recommended for Libraries? Examples
Hooks Any components you pass it to use_signal(|| 0), use_memo(|| state() * 2)
Context Any child components use_context_provider(|| Signal::new(0)), use_context::<Signal<i32>>()
Global Anything in your app Signal::global(|| 0)

Derived State

If you don't have an initial value for your state, you can derive your state from other states with a closure or asynchronous function:

Hook Reactive (reruns when dependencies change) Async Memorizes Output Example
use_memo use_memo(move || count() * 2)
use_resource use_resource(move || reqwest::get(format!("/users/{user_id}")))
use_future use_future(move || println!("{:?}", reqwest::get(format!("/users/{user_id}"))))

Persistent State

The core hooks library doesn't provide hooks for persistent state, but you can extend the core hooks with hooks from dioxus-sdk and the dioxus-router to provide persistent state management.

State Sharable Example
use_persistent use_persistent("unique_key", move || initial_state)
Router<Route> {} #[derive(Routable, Clone, PartialEq)] enum Route { #[route("/user/:id")] Homepage { id: u32 } }
