preact-missing-hooks/src/useTransition.ts

A lightweight, extendable collection of missing React-like hooks for Preact — plus fresh, powerful new ones designed specifically for modern Preact apps.

import { useState, useCallback } from 'preact/hooks';

/**
 * Mimics React's useTransition hook in Preact.
 * @returns [startTransition, isPending]
 */
export function useTransition(): [startTransition: (callback: () => void) => void, isPending: boolean] {
  const [isPending, setIsPending] = useState(false);

  const startTransition = useCallback((callback: () => void) => {
    setIsPending(true);
    Promise.resolve().then(() => {
      callback();
      setIsPending(false);
    });
  }, []);

  return [startTransition, isPending];
