react-script-hook

React hook to dynamically load an external script and know when its loaded

Install

// with npm
npm install react-script-hook

// with yarn
yarn add react-script-hook

How to use

import React from 'react';
import { StripeProvider } from 'react-stripe-elements';
import useScript from 'react-script-hook';

import MyCheckout from './my-checkout';

function App() {
  const [loading, error] = useScript({ src: 'https://js.stripe.com/v3/' });

  if (loading) return <h3>Loading Stripe API...</h3>;
  if (error) return <h3>Failed to load Stripe API: {error.message}</h3>;

  return (
    <StripeProvider apiKey="pk_test_6pRNASCoBOKtIshFeQd4XMUh">
      <MyCheckout />
    </StripeProvider>
  );
}

export default App;

Use with callbacks

useScript({ 
  src: 'https://js.stripe.com/v3/',
  onload: () => console.log('Script loaded!') 
})

Check for Existing

If you're in an environment where the script may have already been loaded, pass the checkForExisting flag to ensure the script is only placed on the page once by querying for script tags with the same src. Useful for SSR or SPAs with client-side routing.

const [loading, error] = useScript({ 
  src: 'https://js.stripe.com/v3/',
  checkForExisting(true);
})
