Hooks test
A demonstration of solving complex canvas interactions using React Hooks composition.
What is Hooks test?
hooks-test is a demonstration project that solves complex canvas interaction problems using React Hooks. It shows how to manage features like pan-and-zoom, keyboard handling, momentum scrolling, and drag-and-drop in a composable way. The project highlights how hooks can reduce code complexity compared to traditional component-based approaches.
React developers building interactive canvas applications or complex UI components that require coordinated state and side effects.
It provides a practical example of how React Hooks can decompose large, tightly coupled components into small, reusable functions, making code easier to follow and maintain while integrating with existing HOC patterns.
Overview
This project showcases how React Hooks can simplify complex UI logic by breaking down a sophisticated canvas-based application into manageable, composable pieces. It addresses challenges like pan-and-zoom, keyboard handling, momentum scrolling, layout animations, and drag-and-drop coordination between canvas and React components.
Key Features
- Canvas Interaction Management — Handles panning, zooming, and momentum scrolling for map-like interfaces.
- Keyboard Event Handling — Manages keyboard inputs within the canvas context.
- Layout Animation Coordination — Synchronizes layout changes with map positioning to keep elements stable.
- Drag-and-Drop Integration — Supports dragging between canvas and React components using react-dnd.
- Composable Logic — Demonstrates how hooks enable splitting complex logic into small, reusable functions.
Philosophy
The project illustrates how React Hooks promote cleaner code architecture by replacing tightly coupled, thousand-line components with focused, composable functions that are easier to understand and maintain.
