hook-docs

A documentation guide for React hooks in the ReactUse website. It covers Markdown files with embedded components in three languages and explains how the site's pages and navigation are generated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a hook, add English and Chinese pages, create live examples, and regenerate the list of documented hooks.
Why use it?
It helps documentation follow the website's required structure and keeps the hook registry up to date.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hook-docs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

hook-docs — document a hook the ReactUse way

Docs live in the Astro site packages/website-astro. The sidebar and routes are built automatically from file paths — there is no routes.json or sidebar config to edit.

File locations (one per locale)

packages/website-astro/src/content/docs/{category}/useX.mdx          # English
packages/website-astro/src/content/docs-zh-hans/{category}/useX.mdx  # 简体中文
packages/website-astro/src/content/docs-zh-hant/{category}/useX.mdx  # 繁體中文

{category} is one of: browser, effect, element, state, integrations. The folder you choose is the category — it sets the registry entry and the canonical URL (https://reactuse.com/{category}/usex/, lowercase).

Frontmatter

Schema is in packages/website-astro/src/content.config.ts — only title is required; description, sidebar_label, sidebar_position are optional. Match the existing style:

---
title: useX – State Hook Usage & Examples
sidebar_label: useX
description: "useX is a React hook that … (one sentence, used as the meta description)."
---

Body structure

Follow the established shape (see content/docs/browser/useClipboard.mdx):

# useX

One-line summary of what it does.

A short paragraph explaining the hook, linking to the relevant MDN/spec page where useful.

### When to Use

- bullet of a concrete use case
- another

### Notes

- SSR safety / browser-support caveats
- any gotchas

## Usage

```tsx live
function Demo() {
  const [value, set] = useX(0);
  return <button onClick={() => set(value + 1)}>{value}</button>;
};

%%API%%


- The ` ```tsx live ` fence renders a live, editable demo. Write the demo **inline** — it is
  not imported from the hook's source.
- Keep `%%API%%` as the last line. It's replaced at build time with the generated API table
  (from the hook's `interface.ts` JSDoc); if no API doc exists yet it's silently removed.

## Translations

The zh-Hans / zh-Hant files mirror the English structure exactly — translate the prose and
the frontmatter `title`/`description`, keep the code demo identical.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
