I love the concept that component libraries like Tailwind UI, daisyUI or shadcn/ui have popularized: copying predefined components and then pasting them into your code.
With Nova.js I do the same, but for React hooks: just copy the hook and paste it into your project.
However, each hook fulfill with the following:
- It cannot have dependencies
- Be compatible with the oldest possible version of React
- Provide both TypeScript and JavaScript code
This way it is ensured that no matter what project you work on, all the hooks will work for you.
I also created a CLI so that hooks can be added from the terminal to the project without installing dependencies to it.
I hope you find Nova.js very useful and don't forget to leave it a star on GitHub!
The difference between Nova and other utilities/libraries is that if you need to use a hook, you don’t have to install an entire library. It follows a methodology very similar to ShadCN, where you only add to your source code what you need and can modify it at any time. Zero dependencies and total freedom.
Nova.js is an excellent collection of dependency-free React hooks, ready to copy and paste into your projects. I often use Nova.js in my personal work to reduce boilerplate code. It offers a variety of incredibly useful hooks. So, why reinvent the wheel when you can leverage Nova.js instead?
