# About ReactUse

## The Project

ReactUse is an open-source collection of **110+ production-ready React Hooks** designed to eliminate boilerplate and bring the best patterns from the Vue ecosystem to React. Inspired by [VueUse](https://vueuse.org/), ReactUse provides TypeScript-first, tree-shakable, and SSR-compatible hooks for browser APIs, state management, DOM observation, side effects, and third-party integrations.

The library is released under the [Unlicense](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/unlicense/), making it free for both personal and commercial use with no restrictions.

## Author

ReactUse is created and maintained by **childrentime** ([GitHub](https://github.com/childrentime)), a frontend engineer with deep expertise in React internals, hook architecture, and browser APIs. The project started as an effort to bring the ergonomic developer experience of VueUse to the React ecosystem, and has grown into a widely-used library powering production applications.

## Production Usage

ReactUse is used in production by teams at:

- **Shopee** -- Southeast Asia's leading e-commerce platform
- **PDD (Pinduoduo)** -- One of China's largest e-commerce companies
- **Ctrip** -- China's largest online travel agency
- **Bambu Lab** -- Leading 3D printing technology company
