How to package my React hook effects for others to re-use?

I'm want to create several open-source React effects for react hooks. For e.g., an effect that checks and updates the user token balance.



The question is: How to pack the effect and create a module, so it will be easy for others to use? How are they going to import and use the effect?



There is any best-practice for that?

Your hook must be build with the "low level" hooks provided by react. Coming up with a reusable/generic authentication hook might be challenging though.



import {useState, useEffect} from 'react'
const useAuthentication = () => {
const [user] = useState({}) // maybe shape of user.name, user.avatar, user.email ?
useEffect(() => {
// whatever
})
...
const login = ...
const logout = ...
return [user, login, logout]
}
export default useAuthentication


// a user of this hook
import useAuthentication from 'my-published-authentication-hook'
const Header = () => {
[user, login, logout] = useAuthentication()
return (
// whatever login/logout button, user name, etc
)
}
