I'm not sure about the current stance on adding hooks to
react-native-reanimated
, but this adds anAnimated.useCode
hook with an API halfway betweenuseEffect
andAnimated.Code
, that serves as an alternative toAnimated.Code
. Instead of passing in a callback, the user passes in a reanimated node to execute, along with an array of dependencies. Since we useuseEffect
under the hood, any change in the dependency array also causes the node to be updated.One piece of behavior that I'm still iffy on is what happens if a dependency array isn't passed in. The idea is that one is always passed in (the typings reflect this), but right now, not passing one in causes the node to be re-run on every render. I think this is expected enough that we can leave it as is.
Also, this is kind of obvious, but
Animated.useCode
is a no-op on a version of RN without hooks.
