useDisclosure hook in React.

The Chakra UI useDisclosure is a hook that is commonly used to handle cases like open, close, and toggle click events for similar components like Modal, Drawer, Popovers, and Alert Dialog boxes. It also manages the boolean states of any event. It handles the showing and hiding of some content.

Features of useDisclosure hook:

1. Accessibility: Chakra UI puts a strong focus on accessibility. It ensures that the component is fully accessible to users who rely on assistive technologies, meeting the required accessibility standards.

2. Customization: With the Disclosure component, you have a wide range of customization options. Customization options include tweaking the trigger element, defining animation effects, and applying custom styling.

3. Controlled and Uncontrolled Modes: Chakra UI offers support for both controlled and uncontrolled modes with the Disclosure component. In the controlled mode, developers retain complete control over the open/closed state of the disclosure panels. On the other hand, in the uncontrolled mode, the component autonomously handles its state internally, providing a more hands-off approach.

Reason to choose useDisclosure hook

It gives good control to open-close behavior for modals, tooltips, etc. It is simple to use and access for creating acustom user interface with togglable panels to show and hide important content.

Importing useDisclosure hook:

To import the useDisclosure hook, write the following code at the top level of your component.

import { useDisclosure } from '@chakra-ui/react'

This method returns an object with the “isOpen” boolean field and the following callback functions

• onClose
• onOpen
• onToggle
• getDisclosureProps
• getButtonProps

Note: The user can use a combination of the values and methods returned by the useDisclosure hook for controlling various components affected by the hook.
