+# `useGetSet`
+
+React state hook that returns state getter function instead of
+raw state itself, this prevents subtle bugs when state is used
+in nested functions.
+
+
+## Usage
+
+Below example uses `useGetSet` to increment a number after 1 second
+on each click.
+
+```jsx
+import {useGetSet} from 'react-use';
+
+const Demo = () => {
+ const [get, set] = useGetSet(0);
+ const onClick = () => {
+ setTimeout(() => {
+ set(get() + 1)
+ }, 1_000);
+ };
+
+ return (
+
+ );
+};
+```
+
+If you would do this example in a naive way using regular `useState`
+hook, the counter would not increment correctly if you click fast multiple times.
+
+```jsx
+const DemoWrong = () => {
+ const [cnt, set] = useState(0);
+ const onClick = () => {
+ setTimeout(() => {
+ set(cnt + 1)
+ }, 1_000);
+ };
+
+ return (
+
+ );
+};
+```
