## What it is
Tilg is a tiny React hook (`useTilg`) that logs component lifecycle events (render, mount, unmount), component names, props, and custom debug messages to the console. It helps developers debug React components with minimal setup.

## Use cases
- debug react component re-renders
- log react component lifecycle events
- see which component rendered with which props
- add quick debug logs to react components
- trace why a component re-rendered
- debug react hooks in the console

## When to choose
- you want zero-config debugging for React components
- you need to see render/mount/unmount events with component names and props
- you want lightweight, template-literal-based debug messages

## When to avoid
- you don't use React
- you need production-grade logging or monitoring
- you need a full devtools or time-travel debugging solution

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: logging, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: react, react-hooks, debugging, logger, lifecycle-events, typescript, nodejs, web-server
