useId hooks

useDebugValue hooks

useId is a React Hook for generating unique IDs that can be passed to accessibility attributes. This hook helps components to become a unique identifier. By generating and managing unique IDs dynamically, components can enhance accessibility by ensuring proper labeling and identification, particularly for interactive elements.

Syntax:

const id = useId()

Parameters:

useId does not take any parameters.

Returns:

useId returns a unique ID string associated with this particular useId call in this particular component.

Usage

Generating unique IDs for accessibility attributes
Generating IDs for several related elements
Specifying a shared prefix for all generated IDs
Using the same ID prefix on the client and the server

Example: In this example we are providing same id’s to both password and confirm password to display the same content.

Javascript

import { useId } from 'react'; 
  
function PasswordField() { 
    const passwordHintId = useId(); 
    return ( 
        <> 
            <label> 
                Password: 
                <input 
                    type="password"
                    aria-describedby={passwordHintId} 
                /> 
            </label> 
            <p id={passwordHintId}> 
                The password should contain at least 18 characters 
            </p> 
        </> 
    ); 
} 
  
export default function App() { 
    return ( 
        <> 
            <h2>Choose password</h2> 
            <PasswordField /> 
            <h2>Confirm password</h2> 
            <PasswordField /> 
        </> 
    ); 
}

React provides specialized built-in hooks for building reusable components and libraries. While they are used less, these hooks are important in providing library authors to create robust and user-friendly applications. Among these specialized hooks are useDebugValue and useId, that provides unique functionalities that enhance the developer experience and facilitate the creation of reusable and accessible components. In this article, we’ll look into these hooks.
