Defined in: react-pacer/src/queuer/useQueuedState.ts:118

A React hook that creates a queuer with managed state, combining React's useState with queuing functionality. This hook provides both the current queue state and queue control methods.

The queue state is automatically updated whenever items are added, removed, or reordered in the queue. All queue operations are reflected in the state array returned by the hook.

The queue can be started and stopped to automatically process items at a specified interval, making it useful as a scheduler. When started, it will process one item per tick, with an optional wait time between ticks.

The hook returns a tuple containing:

The current queue state as an array
The queue instance with methods for queue manipulation

State Management and Selector

The hook uses TanStack Store for reactive state management via the underlying queuer instance. The selector parameter allows you to specify which queuer state changes will trigger a re-render, optimizing performance by preventing unnecessary re-renders when irrelevant state changes occur.

By default, all queuer state changes will trigger a re-render. To optimize performance, you can provide a selector function that returns only the specific state values your component needs. The component will only re-render when the selected values change.

Available queuer state properties:

executionCount: Number of items that have been processed by the queuer
expirationCount: Number of items that have been removed due to expiration
isEmpty: Whether the queuer has no items to process
isFull: Whether the queuer has reached its maximum capacity
isIdle: Whether the queuer is not currently processing any items
isRunning: Whether the queuer is active and will process items automatically
items: Array of items currently waiting to be processed
itemTimestamps: Timestamps when items were added for expiration tracking
pendingTick: Whether the queuer has a pending timeout for processing the next item
rejectionCount: Number of items that have been rejected from being added
size: Number of items currently in the queue
status: Current processing status ('idle' | 'running' | 'stopped')

// Basic queue with initial items and priority (re-renders on any queuer state change)
const [items, addItem, queue] = useQueuedState(
  (item) => console.log('Processing:', item),
  {
    initialItems: ['item1', 'item2'],
    started: true,
    wait: 1000,
    getPriority: (item) => item.priority
  }

// Only re-render when queue contents change (optimized for displaying queue items)

    items: state.items,
    size: state.size,
    isEmpty: state.isEmpty
  })

    isRunning: state.isRunning,
    isIdle: state.isIdle,
    status: state.status,
    pendingTick: state.pendingTick
