Top 23 Hook Open-Source Projects

1. zustand

   1 311 58,806 8.6 TypeScript

   🐻 Bear necessities for state management in React

   

   Project mention: 7 Free Tools and Resources for Building Well-Structured React Applications | dev.to | 2026-05-07

   Zustand is a small, fast state management library for React. Its API is intentionally minimal: you define a store with state and actions, and you consume the store with a hook. There is no boilerplate beyond defining what the store holds and what operations change it.

3. TanStack Query

   2 76 50,407 9.9 TypeScript

   🤖 Powerful asynchronous state management, server-state utilities and data fetching for the web. TS/JS, React Query, Solid Query, Svelte Query and Vue Query.

   

   Project mention: TanStack Query style caching, the Angular-native way | dev.to | 2026-06-29

   That cache/query layer is exactly what TanStack Query provides - and its Angular adapter is excellent and (yes) already signal-based. query.data(), query.isPending() are signals; no manual subscriptions. So let me get the obvious question out of the way:

4. husky

   3 172 35,344 4.9 JavaScript

   Git hooks made easy 🐶 woof!

   

   Project mention: Defending your codebase from AI slop: guardrails that keep you in control | dev.to | 2026-10-08

   Pre-commit hooks: such as Lefthook or, most commonly in JS-based projects, husky. You can configure them to run anything, including Biome, Semgrep and type checks, locally, so you get feedback before you push.

5. SWR

   4 266 32,493 7.7 TypeScript

   React Hooks for Data Fetching

   

   Project mention: GraphQL vs REST: 18 Claims Fact-Checked with Primary Sources (2026) | dev.to | 2026-04-17

   Historically, measurements around 40–45 KB gzipped were reasonable for older Apollo Client bundles , but recent v4.x releases have reduced bundle size and made features more modular. Regardless, that is not a cost of GraphQL itself. The same concern exists for feature‑rich REST clients like SWR or TanStack Query . It is a misleading comparison because both REST and GraphQL can be implemented with nothing more than fetch(). Therefore, the theoretical baseline for both styles is 0 KB.

6. mantine

   5 261 31,817 9.9 TypeScript

   A fully featured React components library

   

   Project mention: What is ShaadKit? A Look at My Personal Foundation for Next.js Projects | dev.to | 2026-09-23

   You don't necessarily have to use ShaadKit for large projects. Sometimes you need to create a simple table, or validate an idea very quickly. Mantine was chosen because it was perfectly suited for such an approach.

7. react-table

   6 77 28,478 9.6 TypeScript

   🤖 Headless UI for building powerful tables & datagrids for TS/JS - React-Table, Vue-Table, Solid-Table, Svelte-Table

   

8. webhook

   7 42 12,179 4.7 Go

12. drei

    10 42 9,917 5.7 JavaScript

    🥉 useful helpers for react-three-fiber

    

13. use-gesture

    11 1 9,622 4.7 TypeScript

14. Release It! 🚀

    12 11 9,069 8.7 JavaScript

    🚀 Automate versioning and package publishing

    

    Project mention: Why I built yet another release tool for npm | dev.to | 2026-02-13

    release-it is great for single packages. Interactive prompts, clean workflow, good plugin system.

15. lefthook

    13 26 8,891 8.9 Go

    Fast and powerful Git hooks manager for any type of projects.

    

    Project mention: Defending your codebase from AI slop: guardrails that keep you in control | dev.to | 2026-10-08

    Pre-commit hooks: such as Lefthook or, most commonly in JS-based projects, husky. You can configure them to run anything, including Biome, Semgrep and type checks, locally, so you get feedback before you push.

16. beautiful-react-hooks

17. usehooks-ts

18. wagmi

    16 2 6,760 9.4 TypeScript

19. form

    17 9 6,711 9.2 TypeScript

    🤖 Headless, performant, and type-safe form state management for TS/JS, React, Vue, Angular, Solid, and Lit.

    

    Project mention: Choreography of validation: how to make your auth form seamless and usable | dev.to | 2026-06-27

    Starting with cons: The first one is about implementation. validationLogic doesn't feel fully baked yet - it still has todos about types. It'll surely get polished, which also means the API can still change.

20. yadm

    18 87 6,444 0.8 Python

    Yet Another Dotfiles Manager

    

    Project mention: What's Actually in My .zshrc (and Why) | dev.to | 2026-07-01

    I manage my dotfiles with yadm, which supports "alternate files" keyed on things like OS. So instead of one .zshrc, I actually have .zshrc##os.Darwin and .zshrc##os.Linux, and yadm symlinks the right one to .zshrc depending on the machine. Both of those source a third file, .zshrc_shared, which holds everything that doesn't care what kernel it's running on. Same setup applies to the keychain script above.

21. pywinauto

    19 5 6,200 7.3 Python

    Windows GUI Automation with Python (based on text properties)

    

22. winXP

    20 2 5,853 3.0 JavaScript

24. kbar

    22 10 5,232 3.7 TypeScript

    fast, portable, and extensible cmd+k interface for your site

    

    Project mention: Building Command Palettes with kbar in React | dev.to | 2026-01-19
