A tiny, feature-complete React hook library for handling async operations in components. It provides useAsync, useAsyncCallback, and useAsyncAbortable hooks that manage loading state, cancellation, and race condition prevention.

Use cases

• fetch data in react components without race conditions
• handle async mutations with loading state in react
• cancel stale api requests when params change in react
• refetch data when dependencies change with a react hook
• manage promise state in react native apps
• prevent outdated search results from overwriting newer ones in react

When to choose

• you want a tiny, zero-dependency alternative to react-query or swr for simple async needs
• you need fine-grained control over async state and race condition handling
• you work with react or react-native and want stable callbacks and abortable fetches
• you want a feature-complete library that will not grow in size

When to avoid

• you need caching, retries, or a full data-fetching framework like react-query or swr
• you rely on react server components or suspense-first data fetching
• you need a library with active development and recent releases
• you want built-in devtools or cache invalidation features
